Originally published 16 April 2024, updated 25 September 2024.
BMW is recalling ~~371,756~~ 1,493,890 of the 1 Series, 2 Series, 5 Series, M5, 7 Series, i5, i7, iX1, iX2, X1, X2, X5, X6, X7, XM, X5M and X6M vehicles manufactured between 2022 and 2024 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the signal fault can lead to the failure of the hydraulic brake assist. ABS and DSC will not be available. This may result in a longer braking distance.

In an authorised workshop, the integrated braking system in the affected vehicles will be replaced.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “013586“. The internal manufacturer code is “~~0034670200~~“.
