The seat belt system in your vehicle is designed to keep you safe. However, in your 2024-2025 BMW model, the system might incorrectly think you're buckled up, even if you're not. This means the warning light won't turn on, and the airbags might not deploy as they should in an accident.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt warning light doesn't go off, you might not know if you're properly buckled up. This increases the risk of injury in a crash, as the airbags might not deploy correctly.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and replace the front seat belts if needed, at no extra cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 XM, 2025 BMW X5 sDrive40i, X5 xDrive40i, X5 M60i, X5 M, X5 xDrive50e, X6 xDrive40i, X6 M60i, X6 M, X7 xDrive40i, X7 M60i, and Alpina XB7 vehicles. The seat belt system may inaccurately detect that passengers are belted, preventing the seat belt warning light from illuminating and possibly causing the supplemental restraint system to not deploy as intended during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A seat belt warning light that does not alert occupants of an unbelted seat belt or an SRS system that deploys improperly can both increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Original — Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the front seat lower seat belts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 12, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Your vehicle's Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is a computer that helps you stay safe on the road by controlling your brakes and handling. The part that contains this computer, called the integrated brake control module, has a small problem with its welds.
Risk if Unfixed
If the welds break, your power brake assist and rear brake function could fail, making it harder to stop the vehicle. This could also cause your Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to stop working, making your vehicle harder to control.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty integrated brake system with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, which was mailed to you on November 13, 2024. You can also call BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions.
