Transport Canada recall 2026075 · manufacturer campaign 61 81 26RC

19 February 2026

Transport Canada lists: 5 2024–2026 · 7 2023–2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the air conditioning system may not have been routed properly. As a result, when the cabin air filter is replaced, the wiring could become damaged by contact with the housing cover and cause a short circuit. Note: This recall also affects certain 2025-2026 model year M5 sedan and 2025 model year M5 touring models.

Why it matters

A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

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. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the air conditioning system's electrical wiring harness. The dealer will also ensure that the wiring harness is secured properly.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a problem with the integrated brake system could cause reduced power brake assist. As a result, there may be reduced braking and the antilock braking system (ABS) and dynamic stability control (DSC) may not work. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2024-087.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, antilock brake and stability control systems that don't work could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the integrated brake system.

Transport Canada recall 2023385 · manufacturer campaign 61 95 23RC

12 July 2023

Transport Canada lists: 7 2023 · I 7 2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver may not be able to control the windshield defrosting/defogging system and/or hazard lights using the interaction bar on the dashboard. Additionally, the control buttons may not light up when pressed.

Why it matters

A windshield that can't be defogged or defrosted can reduce visibility. Hazard lights that don't work could make the vehicle less visible. Both could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the interaction bar.
