Recalls: BMW G70 7-Series and i7
2022-24 BMW G70 7-Series and i7: reduced braking performance; ABS and DSC disabled
In August 2024, recall campaign 0034224983 was issued for 2022-24 BMW G70 7-Series and i7 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, signal interference may occur within the electronics of the brake system. If this occurred, greater brake pedal force may be required for braking (thereby increasing braking distances), and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system would not be available. This condition therefore increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and other road users. If this condition occurred, drivers would be alerted by a brake warning light in the instrument cluster and a message on the central display. Owners were advised that if a warning message appeared, they should follow the instructions and promptly contact their nearest BMW dealer. Furthermore, BMW requested that owners action any Remote Software Update if they received a request on the vehicle’s central display. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006061.
