2018 BMW 530E Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 BMW 530e has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the TurboCord Portable Charger included with the vehicle, where failing capacitors can cause an electrical shock or start a fire.

The airbag system also has a concern: moisture exposure inside the driver and passenger head airbag inflators can impair deployment in a crash, and in some cases the igniter may separate from the inflator, raising the risk of injury. The backup camera can fail to display an image when reversing, reducing visibility behind the vehicle. There is also a crankshaft sensor recall, though it applies specifically to 540d xDrive models and not the 530e: a firmware error in the sensor can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly.
