BMW of North America is recalling 1,406 vehicles including certain 2026 X5 Plug-in Hybrid, X5, and X7 models due to an improperly sealed windshield. The defect may allow water to enter the power distribution box or electronic control unit, potentially causing headlight failure or an electrical short, which increases the risk of a crash or fire.
Dealers will inspect the windshield seal and repair it if necessary. Affected control units and wiring will also be replaced at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed on October 17, 2025. Owners can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.
