The 2024 BMW 740i has 4 recalls, the most serious being a brake system fault that can reduce power brake assist, extend stopping distances, and disable anti-lock brakes and stability control, raising the risk of losing vehicle control.
The brake issue appears across multiple filings but describes the same underlying problem: the integrated brake system can malfunction in ways that affect both braking power and the electronic systems that help maintain control during hard stops or slippery conditions. There is also a driver assistance concern: a steering wheel ground connection may not have been properly attached, which can disable the hands-on detection system. When that system stops working, the vehicle cannot tell whether the driver's hands are on the wheel, and the emergency stopping assistant that relies on that information may not activate when needed.
