BMW Expands Brake Recall to Cover More Cars

By Kevin Joseph August 28, 2024

In February, BMW issued a recall for approximately 80,000 vehicles due to potential concerns with their integrated brake modules.

In a recent development, the recall has now been extended to include approximately 278,000 vehicles worldwide.

This includes models such as the BMW i5, 7 Series, i7, X1, X2, X3, X5, X6, X7, and XM in the US, spanning from 2023 to 2025.

According to CarExpert, there is a global stop-sale on the affected models due to this expansion.

[{"selector":"#anim-1dbb55a1-69e7-4799-953d-29ddbbc7e485 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-8.458646752094118%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to BMW Blog, if your vehicle previously received a replacement part due to a recall, it will require another replacement.

There is an issue with the integrated brake system that might not provide the anticipated power assist.

[{"selector":"#anim-194e81f3-b381-45c7-b593-bd817ed1fa7e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.25669631483779%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

This could potentially lead to longer stopping distances and impact the functionality of the antilock brake and stability control systems.

[{"selector":"#anim-b0c33535-8b66-4ed7-bf1e-23b7e771ede1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.02220386464444%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Fortunately, the mechanical braking and emergency brake functions are still working perfectly

[{"selector":"#anim-e4d16c14-4f3d-4a2c-a7c3-afc355a3827b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-39.15850810123396%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
