vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are free of safety defects and comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

SUBJECT
Recall Campaign 10V-025: Remove and Install the Windshield
MODEL
E70 (X5)
E71 (X6)
SITUATION
The windshield may have been improperly bonded into the vehicle during assembly. As a result, the rigidity of the body in this area may not be
sufficient.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall involves E70 and E71 which were produced on December 14-16, 2009.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Recall completed or is affected by this Recall first check the B-pillar label for code
number 556. If code number 556 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 556 has not been punched out, it
will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system,
either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
CORRECTION
Remove and install the existing windshield.
PROCEDURE
^ Carefully remove and reinstall the windshield per Repair Instruction REP 51 31 000.

the bond between the glass and adhesive bead.

PARTS INFORMATION
LABEL INSTRUCTIONS

a. Emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
