Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies four safety recalls involving the 2015 BMW X5. An EGR cooler leak on certain diesel vehicles can mix coolant with soot, creating heat that may melt the intake manifold and raise fire risk. A driver air bag inflator may separate during deployment and send metal toward occupants, while a Head Protection System air bag may not inflate sufficiently in a crash. On certain vehicles with the rear comfort seat, a weak left rear seat-belt attachment could fail to restrain a passenger. Waiting can leave these risks unresolved, so a prompt VIN check is reassuring and worthwhile.
