Defect

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i and X5 xDrive50i vehicles. The driver and/or passenger sun visor may have an incorrect air bag warning label, or the label may be missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant crash protection."

Consequence

Without a label that shows the proper restraint usage guidelines, the occupants may have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy

BMW notified owners, and dealers will inspect the driver and passenger sun visor, replacing the visors as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 4, 2019. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

What owners report

“2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE A RATTLING SOUND COMES UP WHEN I START THE VEHICLE I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICING AND I'M TOLD THEY DON'T FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. FINALLY, MY DASHBOARD GOES BLUE AFTER LONG DRIVES. AGAIN, THIS WAS REPORTED AND PICTURES WERE TAKEN…”
