Customer Assistance–
Notification
During a specific period (usually the earlier of
12 months or 12,000 miles, though this period
varies by state), some states require us or
our authorized BMW center, to repair in a
reasonable number of attempts, any defect or
condition which substantially impairs the use,
value, or safety of a new vehicle sold, leased
or registered in that state.
A “reasonable number of attempts”is gener-
ally defined as (i) two or more attempts to
repair the same defect (the number of
attempts may vary by state) or (ii) that the
same defect has caused the vehicle to be out
of service by reason of repair for more than
30 days (this period may vary by state),
except for delays created by conditions
beyond our control.
If we are unable to correct a defect or condi-
tion covered by these statutes in a reason-
able number of attempts, we may be
obligated either to replace the vehicle or
reimburse the owner/lessee in an amount
equal to the purchase price or lease
payments paid by the owner/lessee, less the
amount directly attributable to use of the
vehicle by the owner/lessee.
YOU SHOULD SEND WRITTEN NOTIFICA-
TION DIRECTLY TO BMW OF NORTH
AMERICA OF THE EXISTENCE OF AN
ALLEGED DEFECT. SEND WRITTEN
COMMUNICATION TO THE NATIONAL
