VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
- The defect
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2022-2024 iX xDrive50 and iX M60 vehicles. The driver may unintentionally reactivate the cruise control system while turning the steering wheel at low speeds, resulting in a sudden increase of vehicle speed.
- What it can cause
- A sudden increase in vehicle speed can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 2, 2023. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 11,180 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the vehicle speed control 4 times before this, most recently in February 2020 as 20V083000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 99 complaints with NHTSA, 19 of them before this campaign was filed. 11 of those name the vehicle speed control, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V395000 (electrical system), 25V470000 (electrical system), 23V449000 (electrical system), 23V295000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by BMW of North America, LLC with NHTSA on June 7, 2023 as campaign 23V409000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
