What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:STEERING CONTROL MODULE

What Happened
The steering control module in your X3 is like the brain of the steering system. It helps you turn the wheels when you want to. In some 2025-2026 models, this module can cause the steering wheel to move unexpectedly while the car is parked.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens while your car is stationary, you could be injured by the unexpected steering wheel movement. On the road, it could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the steering system software, free of charge, either by sending it to your vehicle remotely or by doing it in-person. You'll get a letter with more details and should contact BMW if you have any questions or concerns.
