BMW is recalling four 2023 X5 sDrive40i, X5 M50i, and X5 xDrive 45e vehicles because a critical bolt may be missing from the driver's seat. Specifically, one of the four bolts that attaches the backrest to the seat frame may not have been installed correctly during manufacturing. Dealers will inspect the seat and install the missing bolt for free to ensure the seat is properly secured.
A loose or improperly secured driver's seat backrest may fail to properly restrain the driver during a crash, which significantly increases the risk of injury.
