Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 2,352 vehicles, including various 2023-2024 BMW XM, X5, X6, X7, and Alpina XB7 models, because the front passenger knee air bag may not deploy correctly during a crash. This defect was identified as affecting approximately 24 vehicles specifically, though the recall covers the broader range of 2,352 units to ensure safety. Dealers will replace the faulty air bag assembly with a new one at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If the front passenger knee air bag fails to deploy as intended during a collision, the occupant is at an increased risk of injury because the vehicle's safety systems will not provide the designed level of protection.
