Chronology :
On December 7, 2022, BMW became aware that some driver seat backrests may not have been attached to the seat frames according to specifications. During seat assembly, the supplier noticed that a seat had not been properly assembled. The supplier informed BMW that some driver seats, which may not have been produced to specifications, may have been delivered to a vehicle assembly plant.
An engineering investigation was initiated, supply chain logistics were reviewed, and the supplier examined their production process records.
Analyses found that on November 2, 2022, software parameters for the seat backrest bolt torquing process had been updated with incorrect information. As a result, it could be possible for a backrest to be attached with bolts containing an out-of-specification torque even though the values would appear to be within specification.
Vehicle assembly information and supplier production and process records were reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles.
On December 12, 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.

During seat assembly, the supplier noticed that a seat had not been properly assembled. The supplier informed BMW that some driver seats, which may not have been produced to specifications, may have been delivered to a vehicle assembly plant. An engineering investigation was initiated, supply chain logistics were reviewed, and the supplier examined their production process records. Analyses found that on November 2, 2022, software parameters for the seat backrest bolt torquing process had been updated with incorrect information. As a result, it could be possible for a backrest to be attached with bolts containing an out-of-specification torque even though the values would appear to be within specification. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production and process records were reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles. On December 12, 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. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The driver seat will be inspected and, if necessary, the affected backrest attachment bolt will be replaced. Owners will be notified by phone and, if necessary, notified by First Class mail, advising them of the recall and to schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW dealer to have the remedy performed for free. If this condition were to occur to a potentially affected vehicle prior to this recall, the remedy would be covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program. Therefore, reimbursement for a pre-notification remedy re Part 573.13 and Part 577.11 is not necessary.
