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.
