3 recalls across 3 model years
The BMW i5 eDrive40 has 3 recalls covering 2024-2026 model years, with the most serious being a steering spindle defect on 2024-2025 vehicles where the spindle can break and cause a sudden increase in steering effort, raising the risk of a crash.
On 2024-2026 models, the wiring harness for the air conditioning system runs near the cabin air filter access point and can be damaged during a routine filter replacement, creating a short-circuit risk that can lead to a fire. On 2024 models, a separate issue affects the electronic brake booster control module: it can fail and reduce or eliminate power brake assist, extending stopping distances, while also interfering with the anti-lock brakes and stability control in ways that can cause the vehicle to behave unpredictably during hard braking.
