Recall 1986134

The issue

On certain 325E, 325ES, 528E, 535I, 635CSI and 735I vehicles, the center high mounted brake light could add sufficient electrical load to cause the brake light switch to overheat, eventually leading to melting of the plastic internal switch parts. This could cause the switch plunger to jam in the ON or OFF position. This would render the brake light permanently ON or OFF regardless of brake pedal operation. Correction: A brake light switch with an increased current load capacity will be installed on affected vehicles.

Description (français)

Sur certaines BMW 325E, 325ES, 528E, 535I, 635CSI et 735I, le feu de freinage central surélevé peut faire surchauffer l'interrupteur des feux de freinage; les composants de ce dernier peuvent alors fondre et le poussoir risque de se bloquer en position "on" ou "off". Les feux de freinage restent alors allumés ou éteints, peu importe la position de la pédale de frein.
