S1000RR · ignition lock may fail
1 Sep 2026 · R/2026/310
In affected machines a component of the ignition steering-lock assembly may in isolated cases develop vibration induced wear which can lead to loss of electrical contact and consequently to loss of ignition. If ignition is interrupted the engine will stop and all electrical functions (lighting instrument cluster assistance systems) will no longer be available.
Fix: Update software and check function of ignition lock

K17 · c evolution wiring harness repair
13 Jul 2026 · R/2026/233
Due to an insufficiently sealed cable shoe moisture can rise within the cable and in unfavourable cases reach the 12 V connector to the DC/DC converter. This can lead to corrosion on the electrical contacts and as a result to increased contact resistance. The increased electrical resistance can cause the connector to heat up. In rare individual cases the heat generated may affect adjacent components.
Fix: A repair wiring harness with be installed on the motorcycle

2 SERIES COUPE · reworking the pvc seam in the rear light housing
1 Jul 2026 · R/2026/262
The safety recall relates to a PVC seam seal defect which may have occurred in the body area of the right real light housing. It is possible that seam sealant was not applied to a panel overlap area this may result in water ingress into the vehicle in the area of the right rear light. If water does enter the trunk in the area of the right rear light it may result in water ingress onto the exposed power distribution box as well as adjacent wiring harnesses and electrical components. It cannot be reliably excluded that electrical contacts may be affected particularly due to capillary effects. In this case moisture ingress and the resulting long-term corrosion may lead to increased contact resistance as well as functional degradation or failure of individual electrical components. Over the service life a thermal event cannot be completely ruled out.
Fix: On the affected vehicles the PVC seam will be checked and if necessary reworked.

IX3 · check the head airbag threaded connection; rework if necessary
4 Jun 2026 · R/2026/224
BMW has decided to initiate the safety recall “Curtain Airbag” with regard to the BMW model NA5. On affected vehicles both curtain airbags (left and right) may not have been properly screwed according to specification. If the curtain airbag is not installed properly it cannot be ruled out that noises (rattling) may occur while driving. Furthermore if the airbag deploys this may result in altered deployment characteristics and the inflator generator may become separated. This could increase the risk of injury.
Fix: On affected vehicles the screw connection of the curtain airbags (left and right) will be checked and reworked if necessary.

5 SERIES SALOON · checking and re-securing the air-conditioning wiring harness
17 Mar 2026 · R/2026/092
The Safety Recall relates to the air-conditioning wiring harness located behind the dashboard. On the affected vehicles the wiring harness was fixed very close to a screw connection on the interior microfilter housing cover. The microfilter of the air conditioning system will be regularly replaced as part of the oil service. It cannot be ruled out that cables may be damaged when replacing the microfilter during a workshop visit. The filter cover has to be removed from the lower part of the instrument panel. After replacing the filter the cover has to be refitted at which point the wires may become damaged or trapped. If the wiring harness is damaged this could lead to malfunctions of the air conditioning system as well as to a short circuit. In case of a short circuit a sensor may overheat while the vehicle is in operation. As a result smoke may develop from the instrument panel and subsequently a fire cannot be ruled out.
Fix: On the affected vehicles the air-conditioning wiring harness will be checked repaired if necessary and re-secured in a modified fixing.

X3 · replace the engine starter motor
2 Mar 2026 · R/2026/054
The Safety Recall relates to the engine starter motor. The fault relates to the RSW22 starter RWT (reinforced water tightness). It was found that with RWT starters an increased abrasion of the magnetic contact can cause the growth of deposits at the lowest point of the relay interior. This in turn may increase the relay contact resistance resulting in false starts or even causing short circuits and possibly a thermal reaction. In case of a short circuit the possibility of a thermal event cannot be excluded. This may happen while attempting to start the vehicle or while driving due to vibrations causing a short circuit due to moving deposits.
Fix: On the affected vehicles the starter motor will be replaced with a variant by another supplier with a different design. Until the repair has been completed it is recommended to not leave the vehicle running unattended after starting the engine.

VARIOUS MODELS · braking assistance may be affected
28 Jan 2014 · R/2013/129
It is possible for the lubrication to the vacuum pump to be interrupted because of a nonconformity with the sealing cap fitted to the intake camshaft. The sealing cap may move and prevent lubrication reaching the vacuum pump causing it over a period to seize. The driver will probably note increasing input is necessary to stop the vehicle. Should the vacuum pump fail completely the vehicle can still be braked albeit with increased pressure applied to the foot brake control.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the sealing cap of the intake camshaft. If necessary the sealing cap in the camshaft will be secured with a spacer.

5 SERIES · towing ball hitch may detach
20 Dec 2013 · R/2013/149
Electronically deployed tow hitch is automatically deployed by button located ion luggage compartment. The pivot uses a mechanical control link which is electrically adjusted. This is necessary to prevent a loosening or shaking loose of the end stop during driving. Due to a software error in the instrument cluster the driver may not in certain cases get prior warning if the adjustment fails. The consequences of this are that the ball hitch can shake loose from the end stop whilst driving. The control link can break due to the imposed load of the trailer and the hitch can pivot downwards causing loosening/detachment of the trailer and adversely affect the vehicle control.
Fix: Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme the control unit/instrument cluster.

The positive battery cable routed from the vehicle battery to the engine bay consists of one cable in the luggage compartment and one cable in the underbody. Both cable are connected by a screw connection and covered by a plastic cover. In single cases the plastic cover may have been fitted incorrectly during the vehicle production. Over time an incorrectly fitted cover could cause the screw connections to come loose leading to an increased resistance also humidity may affect the connection and cause high resistance and drop in current. This can lead to the vehicle not starting and in extreme cases the connection could over heat leading to the possibility of a fire in the luggage area.
Fix: The clips on the battery will be checked the cover replaced and sealed.
