2019 BMW X7 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 BMW X7 has 12 recalls, the most serious being fire risks from a cracked high-pressure fuel pump that can leak fuel in the engine compartment and from an overheating starter motor that can ignite nearby components. On the prior repair note, an earlier fix for the starter overheating issue did not fully resolve the problem, and certain vehicles require a second repair. Wheel safety is also a concern: left-side wheel bolts may not have been tightened enough at the factory and can loosen over time, allowing a wheel to detach while driving. Several recalls involve occupant protection. The driver and passenger side curtain airbags may not have been correctly aligned during installation and can deploy improperly in a crash. On X7 models with the optional business lounge seat, the seat adapter bolts may not be tight enough to hold the seat in a crash. Third-row seats on certain trims have a similar issue, where locking springs in the backrest may be missing or loose, allowing the backrest to move in a crash. The rearview camera can fail to display a clear image when reversing. There is also a sunroof that can close on its own without the key fob inside the vehicle, raising the risk of injury to anyone in the opening.
