2011 BMW X3 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1511209
Internal NHTSA #	11149450
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	X3
Model Year	2011
File date	01/10/18
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Tail lights will fail with no warning light or message displayed in dash board. X3's equipped with hid headlamps come with four led tail lamps. In each lamp, there is a circuit board that will fail due to poor quality control (the resistors and/or capacitors will get detached from circuit board) , therefore, the lamps will stop working. Usually, when lights burn out, the dash warns the driver, but not for this failure. The owner could be driving at night with no tail lamps, and it could lead to a rear end collision. The problem is not the bulb burning out due to wear and tear. The only problem is that led driver which should be replaced by bmw because it is faulty.
