NHTSA recall 22V741000
Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The transmission final drive gear in the electric drive unit may have an improperly manufactured weld seam.
Why it matters: The gear weld seam could break, resulting in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not applied, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: A dealer will replace the electric drive unit, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on November 30, 2022. The owner notification letter is expected to be mailed November 28, 2022.
