BMW X5 Recall 24V697: Brakes may lose power assist, rear braking, and stability control

NHTSA campaign 24V697, reported September 18, 2024, 309 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The integrated brake control module's servomotor may develop broken welds. If this happens, the vehicle can lose brake power assist and rear brake function, and the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) may stop working.

A loss of brake assist or rear braking can lengthen stopping distance, and losing ABS or DSC can cause a loss of handling and control. Either situation can increase the risk of a crash.

Authorized BMW dealers will replace the integrated brake system at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed November 13, 2024, and you can contact BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
