Affected models and their model years are listed below:

  • 2023-25 i7 xDrive60 sedan
  • 2024-25 750e xDrive, i5 M60 xDrive and i7 eDrive50 sedans
  • 2024-26 i5 eDrive40 sedan
  • 2025 M5 Touring wagon
  • 2025-26 550e xDrive, i5 xDrive40 and M5 sedans

The electrical wiring harness for the air-conditioning system in these vehicles may become damaged when the cabin air filter is replaced, which could lead to a short circuit and fire.

To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the air-conditioning system’s electrical wiring harness as well as add a retaining strap or bracket to the harness. All repairs will be done for free. BMW will begin notifying owners April 13, but those with further questions can contact BMW customer service at 800-525-7417, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
