Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact owns a 2020 BMW 330i. The contact stated that the headlight housings would become foggy whenever it rained. The contact stated that the failure had caused the low beam lights to be diffused and to fail to illuminate the roadway beyond 15-30 feet. The vehicle was taken to the dealer with photos of the foggy headlight housings, but the dealer informed the contact that they could not replicate the failure because the headlight housings were clear the time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. …”
