BMW X7 (2025) Seat Belts: Risk of Injury in Crashes
BMW recalls 2025 X7 models with faulty seat belts that may not warn of unbelted passengers or deploy airbags properly during crashes. Owners must get front seat lower belts replaced free by dealers.
A seat belt warning light that does not alert occupants of an unbelted seat belt or an SRS system that deploys improperly can both increase the risk of injury in a crash.
