BMW is recalling 21,955 vehicles of the 5, 7, I5, I7, and M5 model series manufactured in 2024 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that incorrectly manufactured and improperly handled double universal joints can break, resulting in unexpectedly stiff or sticky steering.

In an authorised workshop, the double universal joint is replaced.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14353R“. The internal manufacturer code is “0032660300“.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
