Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 25 vehicles, including certain 2026 X5, X5 Plug-In Hybrid, X6, and X7 models, because the instrument panel may have been manufactured incorrectly. This defect can prevent the passenger-side air bag from deploying properly during a crash. To resolve the issue, dealers will replace the instrument panel trim free of charge.

Risk

If the air bag fails to deploy correctly during a collision, front-seat passengers face a significantly increased risk of injury. These vehicles were not yet sold from dealer inventory at the time of the recall, which prevents potential injuries to the public.

  3. Contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or visit an authorized BMW dealer to arrange for a free replacement of the instrument panel trim.
