Buying a used 2025 BMW X5? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 63 owner complaints on file

The 2025 BMW X5 has 5 recalls in this group. Brake power assist loss, a brake system weld that may fail, and integrated brake system malfunction are the principal mechanical concerns; a seat belt sensor defect and incorrect tire placard information round out the record. Its 63 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 30 service brake, 18 electronic stability control, 17 hydraulic, and 8 forward collision avoidance complaints. Reported outcomes include 9 crashes, 1 fire, and 5 injuries.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify completion of applicable brake assist, weld, and integrated brake recalls.
3. Confirm seat belt sensor recall work and tire placard correction.
4. Ask for records of brake, stability-control, or collision-warning faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
