The Safety Gate is an alert system, not a recall register: a member state notifies the Commission of a product it considers dangerous, and the alert records that notification. It is not the same administrative act as a national recall, and this page does not treat the two as interchangeable.

Read the alert on the European Commission's own site. This page reproduces the fields the Safety Gate publishes; the Commission's entry is the authority.

Every European alert we hold covers the whole set, and which member states raise most of them. Europe and America sets the European alerts against the American register.

BMW i5 in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. BMW i5 is named on 4 American notices, 3 Canadian, 1 British and 34 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The American register

The Canadian register

The British register

The Israeli register

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

BMW elsewhere in this register

BMW is named on 249 notices in the copy of the European Safety Gate’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same risk: Injuries

834 notices in this register name Injuries. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the European Safety Gate published in its weekly alert reports, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /the-european-alerts, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

A small badge that links here and names the register's reference. It costs one line of HTML and needs no key.

The badge is free to use. It links to this page and nowhere else, and it never shows advertising.

Owners of these cars

No register publishes what happens after the letter. Owners do: tell us, in two taps.
