Recall No. S2026M0145V: effective immediately, a total of 1,482 imported 5 Series vehicles produced between June 17, 2020 and March 12, 2021, and 1,239 imported 8 Series vehicles produced between June 14, 2019 and March 12, 2021, are being recalled.

This recall expands the recall campaign announced on September 24, 2026, titled "BMW (China) Automotive Trading Co., Ltd. Recalls Certain Imported Vehicles."

BMW Expands Recall of 2721 Imported 5 Series and 8 Series Vehicles, Citing Spline Wear Risk of Power Interruption

IT之家 News, November 13: IT之家 learned from the State Administration for Market Regulation that BMW (China) Automotive Trading Co., Ltd. has recently filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products and the Implementation Measures for the Regulations on the Administration of the Recall of Defective Automobile Products.

Recall number S2026M0145V: From today, recall certain imported 5 Series vehicles produced between June 17, 2020 and March 12, 2021, totaling 1482 units; recall certain imported 8 Series vehicles produced between June 14, 2019 and March 12, 2021, totaling 1239 units.

For vehicles within the scope of this recall, the longitudinal spline connection between the propeller shaft and the rear axle differential may develop excessive wear on the spline tooth surfaces after long-term use. In extreme cases, this may cause the spline connection to fail, preventing power from being effectively transmitted to the rear axle differential, resulting in rear axle power interruption and posing a safety hazard.

This recall is an expansion of the recall campaign "BMW (China) Automotive Trading Co., Ltd. Recalls Certain Imported Vehicles" issued on September 24, 2026. BMW (China) Automotive Trading Co., Ltd. will inspect the propeller shaft model free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall, and if eligible, further inspect the longitudinal spline wear between the propeller shaft and the rear axle differential, and if necessary, replace the propeller shaft and/or rear axle differential; and apply a special adhesive for bonding and sealing to all vehicles during reinstallation, to eliminate the safety hazard.
