The front seat belts in your vehicle are designed to keep you and your passengers safe. In certain 2024-2025 models, the system might think a seat belt is in place when it's not, which could prevent the airbags from deploying properly in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt warning light doesn't turn on, you might not know if someone in your vehicle is unbuckled. In a crash, the airbags might not deploy as they should, which could increase the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will inspect and replace the front seat belts as needed, at no cost to you. They'll take care of this repair when you bring your vehicle in for the recall notice, which you should schedule as soon as possible.

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.

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.
The integrated brake system in your vehicle is made up of several components, including the part that helps you stop quickly and safely. In certain 2023-2024 models, this system may not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the integrated brake system fails, you could lose power brake assist, which means you'll need to press the brake pedal harder to stop. This could also cause your vehicle to skid or lose control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty integrated brake module with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and if your vehicle was previously repaired under a previous recall, you'll need to get this new repair done as well.
