Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Prioritize Your Safety

NHTSA recall information identifies three potential safety concerns for the 2017 BMW X5. An EGR cooler leak on certain diesel-equipped vehicles can combine coolant with soot, creating high temperatures that may damage the intake manifold and increase fire risk. A passenger air bag inflator may rupture during deployment and send metal fragments toward occupants, creating a serious injury or death hazard.
