Affected:
17,700
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. the brake lamps in these vehicles are controlled by a switch activated by the movement of the brake pedal. this switch could fail internally, causing it to remain either in the "brake lamps off" position or in the "brake lamps on" position.
Consequence:
If this happens, the brake lamps either will not operate or will be continuously illuminated, regardless of brake pedal position.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the existing brake lamp switch with an improved switch.

Campaign:
02V223000 on 08/13/2002
Component:
Air bags:side/window
Manufactured:
04/07/1999 - 08/30/1999
Affected:
20,500
Defect:
On certain 4-door passenger vehicles, the side air bag system could deploy in certain non-crash impacts, such as when contacting large potholes or curbs at substantial speeds.
Consequence:
This could cause the side air bag and head protection system to deploy without an actual side crash or impact severe enough to cause significant visible damage to the vehicle. unexpected deployment of the side air bag could cause serious injury if the occupant's head is resting near the side air bag.
Correction:
Dealers will recalibrate the central air bag control module to reduce the possibility of such a non-crash deployment. owner notification began october 25, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
