2016 BMW 528I Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 BMW 528i has 4 recalls, the most serious being an electrical wiring connector defect that can cause a short circuit and start a fire.

The remaining recalls cover occupant safety across several systems. A seat-mounted side airbag may fail to deploy in a crash if the inflator initiator does not ignite, leaving the occupant without that protection. The driver's seatbelt retractor may not lock at the right moment during hard braking, engaging only after the driver has already moved forward in the seat. There is also a child restraint concern: the inboard lower anchor on the left rear seat may be bent downward, preventing a child seat from fully latching to both anchors and leaving it insecure in a crash.
