BMW says it is concerned a malfunction with the vehicles’ integrated brake system could lead to a loss of power brake assist or cause their anti-lock brake and dynamic stability control systems to not function correctly, according to the recall notice.
“A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle,” the BMW recall states. “Additionally, malfunctioning ABS and/or DSC systems can cause a loss of vehicle control.”
BMW dealers to replace integrated braking systems at no cost
BMW will remedy the issue by having its dealers replace the integrated braking system on the recalled vehicles free of charge, according to the recall. The automaker says it expects to mail owner notification letters April 5, 2024.
Vehicle owners who have more questions about the recall can contact BMW directly at (800) 525-7417 or Rolls-Royce at 877-877-3735.
BMW separately recalled 51 vehicles in March 2023 over concerns their front seat frames may not have been properly welded to the seat rails.

25 thoughts onBMW issues recall for nearly 80,000 vehicles due to potential brake malfunction
I own a 2023: X1 xDrive28i and had an accident a few months ago. I was getting out of a parking lot and stopped at the stop sign. The car did not seem to stop on time and crashed into another car coming from the right. I was driving at 5 miles an hour and it was an awful crash. It hit the side my 13 year old daughter was sitting on. It was terrifying and I could not drive for a long time. I’ve had the car for almost a year now and have driven only 3000 miles because my daughter is traumatized to sit in it.
Please add me.
