2023 BMW I7 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 BMW i7 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a front seat weld defect that can prevent the seat from properly restraining an occupant in a crash, raising the risk of injury. A separate electrical issue affects the steering wheel's hands-on detection system, which may fail to sense when the driver's hands leave the wheel. Because the emergency stopping assistant relies on this sensor to know when a driver is incapacitated, the system may not activate when it is needed. On the visibility side, the dashboard interaction bar may lose the ability to control the windshield defrost and defogging functions or the hazard lights, leaving the driver unable to clear a fogged windshield or signal a hazard to other drivers.
