Recall Alert: BMW X5, X6, X7

by TTAC Staff

Published: December 11th, 2025

Today we have one of those small recalls -- fewer than 100 units -- for you.

BMW is recalling 25 units of the 2026 X5, X5 Plug-In Hybrid, X6, and X7 because an incorrectly manufactured instrument panel could interfere with proper deployment of the passenger air bag. Dealers will replace the instrument panel trim at no cost. Since the affected vehicles were not sold to customers, BMW is not issuing owner letters. VINs covered by the recall became searchable on NHTSA’s website on December 4, 2025.

If you're one of the unlucky few, keep an eye on your mailbox.

Bookish So some lawyer comes up with a scam to shake down the auto industry and the NYT makes it an ethical crusade against Ford. And you repeat it moralistically and uncritically.

Biff Finally the chickens have come home to roost. I have been saying this for three years: just wait until the EV’ers have to pay the road tax. Lets not forget that it’s California we are talking about and they have never met a tax they didn’t like. Plus it’s “the rich” buying new cars so its a double “lets tax’em!” The solution is simple enough. Have EV’s go into emissions stations as part of license plate renewal. Except here record the milage and get a bill for the cost. The rate should be around 1.5X the comparable gas size vehicle due to added weight. Lets watch the progessive politics swallow this one!
