Recalls
2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Brakes (hydraulic), Stability control Vehicle recall #24V104000 · 2024 · 266,716 vehicles
What's wrong: Bmw of north america, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 2023-2025 BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models and model years. The integrated brake (ib) system May malfunction and result in a loss of power brake assist or cause the antilock brake (ABS) and dynamic stability control (dsc) systems to not function properly.
Why it matters: A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle. Additionally, malfunctioning ABS and/or dsc systems can cause a loss of vehicle control. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the integrated brake system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed between June and December 2024.
Body & structure, Airbags Vehicle recall #24V340000 · 2024 · 9 vehicles
What's wrong: The armrest support bracket on the rear side door panel May be improperly secured, allowing the armrest to detach during an air bag deployment.
Why it matters: A detached armrest can strike a rear seat occupant or prevent the thorax air bag from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the left and right rear side door panels, free of charge. The vehicles have not been sold from dealer inventory and therefore no owner letters will be mailed.
