- What it can cause
- A loss of rear brake function increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rear brake hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 9, 2025. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 800-525-7417.

- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) 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 192 vehicles this is a small campaign: 61% 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 one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 41 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V089000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V524000 (steering), 25V857000 (steering), 25V247000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V202000 (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 March 12, 2025 as campaign 25V154000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
