BMW issues recall notice for multiple models due to safety hazards
- Replies 0
Attention, BMW owners! It's time to check your vehicle's details, as BMW Australia has issued a critical recall notice that could affect your safety on the road.
The luxury car manufacturer recalls several vehicles across multiple model lines due to a potentially hazardous defect in the brake booster system.
The defect, which stems from a manufacturing error, involves a component of the brake booster system that may have been incorrectly welded.
‘Due to a manufacturing defect, a component of the brake booster system may have been incorrectly welded and could break,” the company says in its recall notice.’
‘If this occurs, a higher pedal force will be required, and the braking distance may be extended. In addition, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems may not function.’
‘Drivers will be alerted by the brake warning light in the instrument cluster, and a message will appear on the central display.’
‘A reduction in braking performance and/or a loss of vehicle control could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.’
It's important to note that this recall is separate from a previous recall in August, which involved over 26,000 BMW-built vehicles due to a different brake system fault.
Seventeen vehicles from the iX1, iX2, X1, X2, X5, X6, and X7 lines, built between 2022 and 2024, are affected.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list and the original recall notice are attached.
If you own a BMW and are concerned that your vehicle might be affected by this recall, it is essential to schedule an appointment with your nearest BMW dealership as soon as possible.
The dealership will carry out the necessary repairs free of charge, ensuring your vehicle is safe to drive and compliant with safety standards.
For those seeking more information or with specific questions regarding the recall, BMW Australia has established a Recall Hotline at 1800 243 675.
