2020 BMW 540I Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 BMW 540i has 5 recalls, the most serious involving output shafts that can break and cut drive power while moving or allow the vehicle to roll away if parked without the parking brake engaged.

A separate engine software issue can cause the brake booster to lose its power assist during engine start, meaning the brakes still work but require significantly more pedal force than normal. Three recalls cover the rearview camera system: in some cases the camera image fails to appear at all when reversing, while in others a portion of the image is partially obscured, reducing what the driver can see behind the vehicle.
