Note: This recall also affects certain 2025-2026 model year M5 sedan and 2025 model year M5 touring models.
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.
To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises not to use the remote heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) or remote engine start features and not to leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running until the recall repairs have been completed.

The dealer will also ensure that the wiring harness is secured properly.
