"Some 337,000 cars, 29,000 of them in Germany, covering five different models are "potentially concerned" by the safety issue, which concerns incorrect routing of the dashboard wiring, said the KBA. The recall concerns the i5, 5, M5, i7 and 7 models built between June 2022 and December 2025."
"Earlier this month, BMW said it would recall hundreds of thousands of cars worldwide over a potential risk of engine starters sparking a fire. In late 2024, BMW recalled 1.5 million vehicles because of a faulty braking system, which forced it to revise its 2024 outlook downwards."
Germany's KBA transport regulator ordered BMW to recall over 337,000 vehicles globally, with 29,000 in Germany, due to fire risk concerns stemming from incorrect dashboard wiring routing. The recall affects five models: i5, 5, M5, i7, and 7, manufactured between June 2022 and December 2025. No incidents have been reported regarding this specific safety issue. This represents BMW's second significant recall within weeks, following an earlier recall for engine starter fire risks. The company previously recalled 1.5 million vehicles in late 2024 for faulty braking systems, which negatively impacted its financial outlook.
