2024 BMW X1 / X2 Distorted Welcome Light Image TSB

Owners of 2024 BMW X1 (U11) and X2 (U10) Sports Activity Vehicles may notice a problem with their vehicle's welcome light. Specifically, the welcome light image displayed from the exterior mirror assembly appears distorted. This issue, which affects the ground lighting/LED door projector, is addressed by BMW Service Information Bulletin SIB 63 03 24.

Symptoms

The primary symptom of this issue is a distorted welcome light image projected onto the ground from the exterior mirror assembly. Instead of a clear BMW logo or other design, the image may appear blurry, incomplete, or otherwise malformed.

Cause

BMW has identified the root cause of the distorted welcome light image. It stems from the delamination of the film on the LED module, which is part of the exterior mirror assembly. This delamination is attributed to heat exposure, leading to the optical distortion observed by owners of the 2024 BMW X1 and X2.

Repair Procedure Summary

To correct the distorted welcome light image, technicians are instructed to replace the affected light module within the exterior mirror assembly. The repair process involves verifying the customer's concern and then following specific repair instructions outlined in ISTA/AIR document 63 13 270. After the replacement, the vehicle can be reassembled, and the repair can be verified to ensure the welcome light image is no longer distorted.

Important Note for Owners

BMW states that the exterior mirror itself does not need to be removed from the vehicle to replace the light module. This simplifies the repair process and potentially reduces labor time.
