SIB 52 12 25: Seat noise
Seat noise on BMW U10/U11 models (2024–2026); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.
BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11023249 · Sep 2025 · also written SI B52 12 25, B521225
What it covers
A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.
A clicking noise can be heard from one or both front seat backrests. This noise is heard when leaning against the backrest of the seat or while the vehicle is cornering.
