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 Vehicle recall #24V139000 · 2024 · 267 vehicles
What's wrong: The tailgate panel May detach from the mounting structure due to improper adhesive bonding that occurred during manufacturing.

Seat belts Vehicle recall #24V345000 · 2024 · 3,256 vehicles
What's wrong: The seat belt system May inaccurately detect that passengers are belted, preventing the seat belt warning light from illuminating and possibly causing the supplemental restraint system to not deploy as intended during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: A seat belt warning light that does not alert occupants of an unbelted seat belt or an SRS system that deploys improperly can both increase the risk of injury in a crash.
