The 2024 BMW i5 M60 has 2 recalls, the more serious being a faulty ground connection to the steering wheel that disables the hands-on detection system, which can prevent the emergency stopping assistant from activating if the driver's hands leave the wheel.
The second recall affects the pedestrian warning sound system: a fault in the artificial sound generator control unit during startup can cause the vehicle to run silently at low speeds, leaving nearby pedestrians unaware of its approach.
