Overview
- The recall notice identifies roughly 337,000 vehicles worldwide as potentially affected, including 29,000 in Germany.
- Five luxury models—the 5, i5, 7, i7 and M5—built between June 9, 2022 and December 5, 2025 are within scope.
- The defect could cause a short circuit with smoke and possible fire if the wiring harness is harmed during cabin‑filter replacement.
- BMW confirmed the German count but said it could not verify the global total at this time.
- No incidents are known so far, and the action follows another fire‑risk recall announced in mid‑February as well as a 1.5‑million‑vehicle brake recall in late 2024.
