The defect
BMW of North America (BMW) is recalling certain 2023-2024 X1, 2024-2025 X5, 2025 X6, 2023-2025 X7, 740i, 760i, 2024 XM, 530i, 540i, i7, 750e, X2, 2024-2025 i5, 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre, 2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4, JCW Countryman ALL4, and 2025 MINI Hardtop 2 Door (Cooper, Cooper S) vehicles. Please refer to the recall report for the complete list of models. The welds in the servomotor of the integrated brake control module may break, causing a loss of power brake assist and rear brake function. In addition, the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system may not function.
What it can cause
A loss of brake power assist or rear brake function can result in extended stopping distance. A loss of ABS or DSC can cause a loss of vehicle handling and control. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace the integrated brake system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 13, 2024. Owners can contact BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417.
NHTSA's note
Owner's may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to 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 309 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2025, 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 electronic stability control (esc) 2 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V104000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 14 of the 24 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 515 complaints with NHTSA, 81 of them before this campaign was filed. 176 of those name the electronic stability control (esc), the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2022, 1 year before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V422000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 26V056000 (electrical system), 25V616000 (seat belts), 25V395000 (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.
