The 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a steering spindle that can break and cause a sudden increase in steering effort, raising the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
The braking system also has a recall: the electronic brake booster control module can fail, reducing power brake assist and extending stopping distances, while also potentially disabling the anti-lock brakes and stability control. On the electrical side, the wiring harness for the air conditioning system can be damaged when the cabin air filter is replaced, and a damaged harness can short-circuit and start a fire.
