VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The sunroof control unit in your vehicle is a computer that helps you open and close your sunroof with your key fob. In some 2019-2023 models, this unit might be set up incorrectly, allowing the sunroof to close without the fob inside.
Risk if Unfixed
If your sunroof closes while you're outside the vehicle, it could hit you and cause injury — especially if you're under the sunroof or have your head near it.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the sunroof control unit with the correct programming, so the sunroof only closes when you're inside with the fob. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

SEATS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The compression springs in your third-row seats are what keep your backrest firmly in place. In some 2019-2022 X7 models, one or more of these springs might not have been installed correctly, and could come loose over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the seat backrest isn't locked properly, you're at a higher risk of injury from the seat not functioning as it should.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the third-row seat, fix any installation mistakes, and replace any missing springs – all for free. You'll get a notice in the mail with next steps, but you can also reach out to BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
