BMW Orders Global Recall of 337,000 Cars Over Service-Related Fire Risk

A misrouted cockpit wiring harness can be damaged during microfilter service, creating a short-circuit that may cause a fire.

Overview

  • The action covers 337,374 vehicles worldwide, including 29,441 in Germany, built from June 9, 2022 to December 5, 2025.
  • Affected models include the BMW 5 Series and 7 Series as well as the i5, i7 and M5.
  • The recall was recorded in the KBA database and confirmed by BMW with prescribed dealer inspections and repairs.
