BMW of North America is recalling 397 vehicles, specifically certain 2023 760i xDrive and i7 xDrive60 models equipped with the Executive Lounge Seating Package. A software error in the front passenger seat control unit may prevent the system from recognizing the seat position, which automatically disables the front passenger air bag, knee air bag, and active headrest. BMW dealers will provide a free software update to fix this issue; owner notification letters were mailed in March 2023.
If the seat position is not recognized, the front passenger air bags and active headrest will be disabled and will not deploy during a crash. This significantly increases the risk of serious injury to the front passenger during a collision.
Software reprogramming of the front passenger seat electronic control unit.
