The 2024 BMW 740i xDrive has 2 recalls, both affecting vehicle control: a steering spindle that can break and force significantly higher steering effort, and a brake assist failure that can extend stopping distances and disable the anti-lock brake and stability control systems.
The steering recall involves a spindle in the steering linkage that can fracture, making the wheel suddenly much harder to turn and raising the risk of a crash. The brake system recall involves a loss of power brake assist, meaning the driver must press the pedal much harder than normal to slow the vehicle. At the same time, the anti-lock brake system and the electronic stability control can malfunction, reducing the vehicle's ability to prevent wheel lockup or recover from a skid.
