2009 BMW 7 SERIES Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 BMW 7 Series has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the braking system and occupant restraint sensor programming. A check valve in the brake vacuum pump can leak oil over time, contaminating the brake booster and reducing power-assisted braking; in extreme cases, power assist can be lost entirely, requiring significantly more pedal effort to slow the vehicle. A sensor cluster unit with incorrect programming may have been installed during prior dealer service, which can affect how the restraint system reads and responds to occupant data. There is also a label recall: the tire information label incorrectly lists seating capacity as five passengers when the vehicle seats four, though tire size, pressure, and weight ratings on the label are accurate.
