- SEAT BELTS:FRONTCampaign 24V345000 · 15/05/2024
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 XM, 2025 BMW X5 sDrive40i, X5 xDrive40i, X5 M60i, X5 M, X5 xDrive50e, X6 xDrive40i, X6 M60i, X6 M, X7 xDrive40i, X7 M60i, and Alpina XB7 vehicles. The seat belt system may inaccurately detect that passengers are belted, preventing the seat belt warning light from illuminating and possibly causing the supplemental restraint system to not deploy as intended during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk: A seat belt warning light that does not alert occupants of an unbelted seat belt or an SRS system that deploys improperly can both increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front seat lower seat belts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 12, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

- 12/01/2025· WHEELS
Purchased 2024 XM in July 2024. Since then all 4 rims have cracked. Quote by BMW to replace $2500. If replaced I would have paid 10k in a year to replace wheels plus the 3k spent in May and June 2025 for a set of new tires. This week my PSI was zero. I could hear the air coming out. Took XM to a tire shop to find out nothing was wrong. The tire was fine and the previously repaired crack was fine. The shop added air and it held. Then the next day, I could hear air seeping from another tire. My husband drove it around the subdivision and came back home to add air. The seeping had stopped. There’s not a week that I’m not adding air to the tires. I keep a compressor in my XM, whereas last week I had to inflate the tires after work twice. The tire shop unbiased opinion is that, there’s a flaw in the design such that, the wheels are too big for 23” tires, with inadequate spacing between the two. The shop that repairs the rims charges $195. As a women Driving this vehicle, it gives me anxiety because I feel its unsafe to drive not knowing if an unsuspecting crack will cause the vehicle to become disabled or if a tire would blow, causing loss of control. If BMW maintains historical data on tire conditions, you will see how often, sometimes daily or weekly, that the PSI is low. BMW has to know about this flaw, as forums on bimmers, Facebook and Reddit have many discussions. For a 160k vehicle BMW should own the issue and cover replacement cost for new rims.

I applied normal pressure to my brakes to slowly come to a stop and my brakes locked up and started jerking the car. I was told in October of 2023 by the dealership I purchased the car from that there was a recall and no fix. I just checked with them again today and there is still no fix. I am having problems with the braking system and can not get the car fixed.
