    BMW is recalling nearly 80,000 vehicles because their brakes may malfunction and increase stopping distance. 

    The affected cars and SUVs include the 2023 X1 xDrive28i SUV; 2024 X5 sDrive40i, X5 xDrive40i, X5 M60i, X5M, X5 xDrive50e, X6 xDrive40i, X6 M60i, and X6M SUVs; 2023-2024 X7 xDrive40i, X7 M60i, XB7, and XM SUVs; 2023-2024 740i, 740i xDrive, 760i xDrive, i7 eDrive50, i7 xDrive60, and i7 M70 sedans; 2024 530i, 530i xDrive, i5 eDrive40, i5 M60, and 750e xDrive sedans; and the 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre.

    The problem has to do with a defect in the electronically controlled integrated braking system. As a result, the vehicle may lose power braking assist, antilock braking (ABS), and dynamic stability control (DSC). The driver will still be able to stop the vehicle using mechanical braking, but it will require increased effort and additional distance. If ABS or DSC fails, the driver could lose control of the vehicle during an emergency maneuver, which could increase the risk of a crash.

    If the integrated braking system fails, drivers will notice a warning light on the dashboard.

    BMW dealerships will replace the integrated braking system component, free of charge.

    Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.

    If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
