Wipers & Visibility Recalls (1)
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2023 X5 sDrive40i, xDrive40i, xDrive45e, and X7 xDrive40i vehicles. The windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle which could allow water to enter the vehicle and contact electrical components, possibly resulting in a short-circuit.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the windshield seal and as necessary, remove and reinstall the windshield with a new seal, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 30, 2022. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Owner Complaints (2)
Your car's main information screen flickered and went black while driving, causing multiple electrical systems to fail at once including the radio, climate control, backup camera, and safety features. Without warning, you suddenly lost access to critical safety systems, creating a risky driving situation. The dealership identified a faulty Head Unit (the main computer controlling the screen) that had corroded despite the car never being flooded and having only 51,000 miles. The repair will likely involve replacing the Head Unit and addressing any underlying moisture intrusion issues.

Your sunroof suddenly shattered while you were driving at about 60 MPH with no warning lights appearing on your dashboard. The dealer was notified but didn't diagnose or repair the problem. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the entire sunroof assembly and inspecting the sunroof frame and seals for damage.
