The 2024 BMW i4 has 4 recalls, with two separate fire risks standing out: a left-side chassis beam that can crack and expose the high-voltage battery in a crash, and a battery module that can overheat and catch fire on its own.
The chassis concerns extend further, as a beam supporting the left rear wheel arch may also be cracked, reducing the vehicle's ability to protect occupants in a collision. On the electrical side, a software fault in the electric drive motor can shut down the high-voltage system without warning, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion and raising the risk of a crash.
