Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

266,716 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The risk: 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 remedy: Dealers will replace the integrated brake system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed between June and December 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or Rolls Royce customer service at 1-877-877-3735.

There is an open recall on my 2024 BMW 760i and BMW has NO FIX over a year now and the NHTSA is doing nothing to pressure BMW to fix this critical issue. This is unacceptable as it puts all of us as risk and the NHTSA has to take this issue serioulsy, I am unable to sell this vehicle or get a new insurance and you folks have put no pressure on BMW to fix this. Please CC the head of the NHTSA and start putting pressure on BMW to solve this.

BMW issued a recall for several series including the BMW 760i x drive citing missing parts to the braking system which could cause the emergency braking and brakes to fail. The recall was issued 10 months ago. This was before I purchased the car. I did not receive a recall notice until a month ago. They did not disclose the recall at the time of the sale of the vehicle. I drove the car for 5 months before being notified. Before I received the recall notice I noticed some issues with the braking taking longer to stop. I then received the recall and contacted the dealer to fix the recall. They said they had not received authorization to fix the recall from BMW. I have not driven the car for fear of the brakes failing for over a month since I received the recall notice. This is a $146,000 car. The dealer said they have not been authorized by BMW to fix the recall. How do you issue a recall on expensive cars and expect people to continue to pay for a car they can't drive?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The electrical system of BMW vehicles has been subject to an ongoing development process over the last few years. This has led to increased demands being placed on the battery. This document covers important information for the dealer on how to handle “discharged battery” complaints.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
