The 2025 BMW i5 xDrive40 has 2 recalls, the most serious being a steering spindle that can break and force the driver to exert significantly more effort to steer, raising the risk of losing control.
The second recall involves the air conditioning wiring harness, which can be damaged when the cabin air filter is replaced. If the wiring is nicked or pinched during that service, it can short-circuit and start a fire.
