2 recalls across 1 model year
The BMW 525xi has 2 recalls, both affecting the 2006 model year, with the more serious being a PCV valve heater that can short circuit, melt internal components, and start a fire even when the vehicle is parked and off. The second recall involves the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, which can fail and cause the front passenger airbag to deactivate, leaving that occupant without airbag protection in a crash. This affects 2006 models equipped with either the Sport Seat option or standard seats.
