Chronology :
On January 27, 2024, during supplier production, an instrument panel was noticed in which the surface did not appear to meet quality standards. A second panel, with similar characteristics, was also noticed. A containment action at the supplier was implemented. An engineering investigation was initiated.
Reviews of the supplier production process were conducted. It was suggested that the resin composition used in the production of the panel be checked. Based upon results of ash testing, it was found that the panel’s resin mixture did not meet specifications during a specific production period. Further reviews, of supply chain logistics, and vehicle production / build configurations, were performed.
In early February, a vehicle stop ship at a vehicle assembly plant, and a corresponding dealer hold, were issued.
On February 15, 2024, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
BMW is not aware of any customer complaints, concerns, and/or instances, dealer field reports, or warranty claims that relate, or may relate, to the issue identified in this report.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any incidents, accidents or injuries that relate, or may relate, to the issue identified in this report.
