BMW 7 Series: Front Seat Back-rest Heater May Overheat
- Recalling firm
- BMW
- Product
- Vehicles: BMW 7 SERIES, BMW 5 SERIES. Units affected: 6,018
- Reason
- Mechanical loads exerted on the back-rest heating element of the front seats when persons enter or exit the vehicle may result in damage to the door side contact line in the back-rest padding. In the event that this causes a break of a contact line the damaged area may overheat to unacceptable levels with the heater switched on. It would then not be possible to rule out the risk of minor burns to the occupants clothes and possibly their skin. Remedy: Recall affected vehicles and check condition where necessary fit an additional in-line fuse.
