Chronology :
On December 22, 2022, a customer complaint was received at a BMW dealer in which the customer noted that the driver seat had some play.
Between January and February 2023, field information was monitored and collected, including seats that may have experienced this issue. Toward the end of February, the field information and the parts that were collected, was provided to seat supplier Lear.
In early March, Lear informed their sub-supplier Adient Ramos, which is responsible for the completed seat frame. An analysis of seat frame production and process records by the sub-supplier, including the returned parts from the field, indicated that an issue may have occurred involving laser welding of the seat rail. This issue was communicated to Lear and then to BMW.
Further reviews of the supplier production and process records confirmed that certain deviations occurred during the production and assembly of the seats. A review of supply chain logistic information identified potentially affected seats.
Engineering reviews and computer simulations were performed. It was determined that under certain load (crash) conditions, the structural integrity may not be maintained.
Vehicle assembly information and supplier production and process records were reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles.
On March 22, 2023, 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.

Between January and February 2023, field information was monitored and collected, including seats that may have experienced this issue. Toward the end of February, the field information and the parts that were collected, was provided to seat supplier Lear. In early March, Lear informed their sub-supplier Adient Ramos, which is responsible for the completed seat frame. An analysis of seat frame production and process records by the sub-supplier, including the returned parts from the field, indicated that an issue may have occurred involving laser welding of the seat rail. This issue was communicated to Lear and then to BMW. Further reviews of the supplier production and process records confirmed that certain deviations occurred during the production and assembly of the seats. A review of supply chain logistic information identified potentially affected seats. Engineering reviews and computer simulations were performed. It was determined that under certain load (crash) conditions, the structural integrity may not be maintained. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production and process records were reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles. On March 22, 2023, 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.

Between January and February 2023, field information was monitored and collected, including seats that may have experienced this issue. Toward the end of February, the field information and the parts that were collected, was provided to seat supplier Lear. The analysis of field information identified one warranty claim in June 2021 regarding the possibility of a loose driver’s seat.
