ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

The defect
BMW of North America, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 2023-2024 X1, X5, X6, X7, XM, 530i, i5, 740i, 760i, i7, and 750e vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models and model years. The integrated brake (IB) system may malfunction and result in a loss of power brake assist or cause the Antilock Brake (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems to not function properly.
What it can cause
A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle. Additionally, malfunctioning ABS and/or DSC systems can cause a loss of vehicle control. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace the integrated brake module, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 22, 2024. Second letters will be mailed once the parts are available. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicles in this recall were previously repaired under recall number 24V-104 and will need to have the new remedy completed.
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 11,579 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 2023 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 electronic stability control (esc) 3 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V697000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 21 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 359 complaints with NHTSA, 130 of them before this campaign was filed. 139 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 24 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V525000 (power train), 26V422000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 26V096000 (electrical system), 26V056000 (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 October 2, 2024 as campaign 24V739000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
