SUBJECT

Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign 15E-A01: Retrofit Emissions Label for I01 and I12
MODEL

I01 (i3 and i3 REx)
I12 (i8)
SITUATION

The model year is incorrect on the emissions compliance label on certain I01 and I12 vehicles produced from
November 1, 2014 through December 22, 2014.
In order to remedy the situation, BMW is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign to replace the
emissions compliance label on all affected vehicles.
AFFECTED VEHICLES

This Emissions Recall Campaign involves certain I01 (i3 and i3 REx) and I12 (i8) vehicles in which the
emissions compliance label must be replaced.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is
affected by this Emissions Recall Campaign, first check whether the Emissions Recall Completion Label, SD
92-435, is attached to the right (passenger) rear side of the hood in the engine compartment, close to the
windshield. If the label is found, the Campaign has already been performed. If the Emissions Recall
Completion Label is not present, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer
Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the
corrective action or take no further action.
PROCEDURE

Only properly trained personnel, who have passed all applicable technical training courses, should
perform any maintenance or repairs on any Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Work performed by
unqualified persons may result in severe injury or damage to the vehicle. Additional information may
be found in REP 61 00… Observe safety instructions when handling electric vehicles.

1. Locate and remove the emissions
label with a hot air gun. The
illustration indicates the
locations of the emissions label.
Note: The incorrect emissions
label displays 2015 MY.
2. Clean the glue residue from the
surface area with an appropriate
cleaner.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Perform the procedure outlined in this service information on all affected vehicles BEFORE customer
delivery or the next time they are in the shop for maintenance or repairs.
BMW centers must ensure Recalls are completed after having been notified by BMW of North
America, LLC (BMWNA) that a safety-related defect or noncompliance exists in any motor vehicle or
item of replacement equipment in the center's possession at the time of notification. In BMW NA's case,
this notification would typically be made by the issuance of a Recall notification in the form of a Service
Information bulletin (SIB) or transmission of a Dealer Communication System (DCS) Recall message.
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if a Recall campaign is
announced by BMW NA, centers must ensure that all Recalls on new vehicles and new items of
replacement equipment are completed BEFORE delivery to the consumer. This means that centers
may not legally deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to consumers with
an open Recall.

The Safety Act also prohibits centers from selling or leasing the motor vehicle or item of replacement
equipment, unless and until the open Recall has been completed BEFORE delivery. This also pertains
to vehicles in the Certified Pre-Owned program, and to items of replacement equipment.
Finally, BMW centers should not sell or use parts that have been recalled by BMW NA. Please follow
the specific instructions provided by BMW NA on the return or disposition of the parts.
