How to check if your BMW 5 has a recall

A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every BMW 5 on the road. To see whether yours is affected:

  1. Look up your VIN or registration on the official recall checker for the country where the car is registered: KBA (Germany), DVSA (UK), EU Safety Gate (Netherlands), NZTA (New Zealand), RappelConso (France), Traficom (Finland).
  2. Ask an authorised BMW dealer: recall repairs are free, including on used cars and cars serviced elsewhere.
  3. Add the car to your watched vehicles on Recaller Book and get an email when a new campaign is published for it.
