BMW 5 & 7 series Recall |
Front seat back-rest heater may overheat |
 BMW announced a problem with the 5 & 7 series affecting a total of 3,009 vehicles.
Mechanical loads exerted on the back-rest heating element of the front seats, when persons enter or exit the vehicle, may result in damage to the door side contact line in the back-rest padding. In the event that this causes a break of a contact line, the damaged area may overheat to unacceptable levels with the heater switched on. It would then not be possible to rule out the risk of minor burns to the occupants clothes, and possibly their skin. Vehicles built from 09/25/2002 to 06/09/2004 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall affected vehicles and check condition, where necessary, fit an additional in-line fuse. |
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest BMW dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
