NHTSA recall 25V556000
Visibility · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The windshield may not be sealed properly, which can allow water to enter the power distribution box or electronic control unit.
Why it matters: Water inside electrical components can lead to electronic function failures, such as a loss of headlights, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, an electrical short-circuit may occur, increasing the risk of a fire while parked or driving.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the windshield seal. If any leaks are detected, the seal will be repaired and vehicle control units and wiring will be replaced as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 3, 2025.
