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.

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.

Subject: Urgent Safety Complaint – Rear Visibility Obstruction in BMW 760i Due to “Theater Screen” and Rear Roller Shade Options To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a serious safety issue involving my recently purchased BMW 760i, equipped with two optional features — the “Theater Screen” and the rear window roller shade — both of which pose a significant hazard to driver visibility and road safety. The “Theater Screen” is a 31-inch ultrawide display that folds down from the roof for rear passengers. Upon activating this feature, the screen completely blocks all rear visibility through the rearview mirror. When I first engaged the system, I was immediately alarmed to find the rear view entirely obstructed, forcing me to turn it off and fold it back up to avoid driving blindly. In addition, the rear window roller shade, another optional feature I purchased, obstructs approximately 80% of the rear visibility when fully deployed. Both of these factory-installed and BMW-approved options create an extreme safety hazard, effectively disabling the driver’s ability to monitor traffic behind the vehicle — a fundamental requirement for safe operation on public roads. When I brought these concerns to BMW’s Customer Relations department, they dismissed the issue, stating that both features were “inspected and approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.” Frankly, it is difficult to believe that NHTSA would approve such features that blatantly compromise driver visibility and violate basic safety standards. I am therefore requesting that NHTSA urgently investigate this matter to determine how such equipment passed federal safety standards, and to ensure appropriate corrective actions are taken. These options place drivers, passengers, and the public at serious risk of collisions and injury. Thank you for your prompt attention to this critical safety issue.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

B110325

ENGINE

The “Check Engine Oil Level” warning is displayed while driving due to one of the following: Shortly after a detailed measurement has been carried out Shortly after engine oil has been topped up Shortly after an engine oil service has been carried out

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.
