BMW 5, M5, and 7 Series: Insufficient welding of the front seat structures

BMW is recalling 1,357 Series 5, M5, and 7 vehicles built between 2022 and 2023 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that insufficient welding of the front seat structures can break in the event of an accident, thus impairing the restraint function.

The seat length adjustment is checked in the workshop and replaced if necessary. The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “012879“; the manufacturer’s internal code is “0052130200“.
