2006 BMW Z4 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1228225
Internal NHTSA #	10781296
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	Z4
Model Year	2006
File date	06/10/15
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Changing a headlight bulb on drivers side noticed flaking insulation on wiring harness. In the process of removing headlamp, insulation on all the wiring almost completely disintegrated. I can only assume that this same condition exists on the passenger side. This would seem to present a fire hazard at worst and a loss of lighting at the least. I understand from reading various forums that this is a problem across many bmw models. Further, it appears that bmw used a soy based insulation product on these wires. Isn't soy biodegradable? Why would this be used in a wiring harness.
