A bunch of BMW models are being recalled because of a potential electrical problem.
BMW of North America is recalling 58,713 vehicles across several 5-Series, 7-Series, i5, i7, and M5 models from the 2023–2026 model years. The issue involves the air conditioning system’s electrical wiring harness, which can be damaged during a cabin air filter replacement.
If the harness is damaged, it could lead to an electrical fault affecting the air conditioning system. To address this, dealers will inspect the wiring harness and replace it if necessary. BMW will also add a retaining strap or bracket to better secure the harness. All repairs will be performed at no cost to the owner.
Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on April 13, 2026. Affected owners can contact BMW of North America customer service at 1-800-525-7417. VINs will be available for lookup on NHTSA.gov starting April 13, 2026.
