Today we have one of those small recalls — fewer than 100 units — for you.
BMW is recalling 25 units of the 2026 X5, X5 Plug-In Hybrid, X6, and X7 because an incorrectly manufactured instrument panel could interfere with proper deployment of the passenger air bag. Dealers will replace the instrument panel trim at no cost. Since the affected vehicles were not sold to customers, BMW is not issuing owner letters. VINs covered by the recall became searchable on NHTSA’s website on December 4, 2025.
If you’re one of the unlucky few, keep an eye on your mailbox.
