What is being recalled

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2023 X5 sDrive40i, X5 M50i and X5 xDrive 45e vehicles. One of the four bolts that connects the backrest to the driver's seat frame may not have been correctly installed.

Why it is dangerous

A loose driver's seat backrest may not properly restrain the occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

Dealers will inspect the driver's seat backrest and if necessary, install an attachment bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 17, 2023. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 22V-942 when calling a dealer.
