2015 BMW X5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 BMW X5 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the electric power steering control unit, where a missing weld can cause rising electrical resistance that may result in a fire. The remaining recalls fall into two areas. On the occupant restraint side, the Head Protection System airbag on certain trims may not inflate properly in a crash because the clamp securing it to the gas generator is out of specification, leaving occupants with reduced protection. Two separate recalls address the optional rear comfort seat: in one, the seatbelt buckle bracket weld may be incorrectly positioned and could break in a crash, and in the other, the left rear seatbelt attachment point may not be sufficiently welded and could pull free in a collision, failing to hold the occupant. These rear seat recalls affect only vehicles equipped with the optional rear comfort seat.
