Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 5 units of its 2023 X7 M60i and XM vehicles because the fasteners connecting the exhaust system and the catalytic converter may not have been tightened correctly. A loose connection in this area can cause exhaust components to separate or leak, which significantly increases the risk of a fire. To resolve this issue, BMW dealers will replace the exhaust system gasket and properly tighten all fasteners at no cost to owners.

Risk

The improperly tightened fasteners can allow the connection between the exhaust system and the catalytic converter to loosen during vehicle operation, potentially leading to a fire under the vehicle.
