MODEL

E-SeriesModel DescriptionProduction Date
G05X5 Sports Activity VehicleSeptember 20, 2022
G07X7 Sports Activity Vehicle

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Affected vehicles which require this Campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR, the “Service Menu” of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System), ISPA NEXT or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.

 

SITUATION

BMWeBay AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective October 19, 2022) on a small number of Model Year 2023 BMWeBay vehicles that were produced on September 20, 2022.

As of November 2, 2022, this delivery stop has been upgraded to a safety recall.

During vehicle assembly, the windshield on the passenger side of the bottom A-pillar may not have been properly sealed to the vehicle.

Note: If the windshield was not properly bonded, the glove compartment and passenger footwell area may become wet. As a result, the control units that are located in that area may get damaged and potentially create a short circuit, and consequently, a thermal event cannot be ruled out.

 

CAUSE

Error during windshield assembly.

 

CORRECTION

Inspect the front windshield adhesive on the passenger side bottom A-pillar and rework if necessary.

 

PROCEDURE

1. Remove the passenger side A-pillar trim panel following repair instructions listed in AIR/ISTA (51 43 201).

2. Remove the passenger side windshield gutter strip following the repair instructions listed in AIR/ISTA (51 31 030).

3. Note: Two people are required for this step. Using a compressed air gun, blow air from the inside of the windshield (bottom right corner). At same time, spray soap and water into the area between the body and the windshield from the outside (bottom right corner).

 

If soap bubbles do not form in the area between the body and the windshield, the adhesive bond of the windshield is OK, and the technical campaign can be closed

If soap bubbles form in the area between the body and windshield, the adhesive bond of the windshield is NOT OK: Proceed to Step 4 

4. Remove the windshield following the repair instructions listed in ISTA/AIR (51 31 00).

 In addition, the passenger side footwell area must be checked for any water ingress- proceed to step 5

5. Remove the side trim panel footwell on the passenger side A-pillar following the repair instruction list inAIR/ISTA (51 43 075).

6. Fold back the floor carpet and inspect the area for any water ingress. Dry it if necessary.

7. After the repair is complete, reassemble the vehicle according to the repair instructions.

Chronology :

On September 21, 2022, during end-of-line quality assurance testing, it was noticed that water was present in the interior of a vehicle. A review of vehicle manufacturing processes was immediately initiated.

The review indicated that a vehicle assembly robot, which attaches and seals the windshield to the vehicle, had been recently programmed. Further information indicated that this programming effort could allow a windshield to not be appropriately attached and sealed to the vehicle body structure.

Testing was conducted to determine the possibility and extent of water ingress to the vehicle interior and, if water was present, potential affects upon vehicle operation. Test results indicated that water ingress could occur and, if present, could travel to and contact the power distribution box and/or an electronic control unit.

Vehicle assembly information was reviewed to determine the number and production date range of potentially affected vehicles.

On October 27, 2022, BMWeBay decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.

BMWeBay has not received any reports, nor is BMWeBay otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
