BMW recalls 12197 imported 7-series cars in China, resulting in safety risks for auxiliary drivers.

CTOnews.com, December 1, a few days ago, BMW (China) Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration in accordance with the requirements of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products. From now on, recall a total of 12197 imported 7-series cars with production dates from June 28, 2022 to August 22, 2023.

Due to the adjustment of the production process of the supplier, the bolt holes of the steering wheel grounding wire are not produced according to the specifications, which may lead to abnormal grounding connection of the steering wheel, and the steering wheel off-hand detection system can not identify whether the driver's hand is off the steering wheel, which increases the safety risk of the driver and passengers after turning on the auxiliary driving function of the vehicle.

CTOnews.com learned from the announcement that BMW (China) Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. will check the steering wheel ground connection for vehicles within the recall area free of charge and reinstall it if necessary to eliminate safety risks.
