SITUATION
BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective October 19, 2022) on a small number of Model Year 2023 BMW
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

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, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW
otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
