The 2024 BMW i7 xDrive60 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a wiring harness near the air conditioning system that can short-circuit and start a fire, a risk that may be triggered during something as routine as a cabin air filter replacement.
On the braking side, a control module fault can cause the power brake assist to fail, meaning the driver must push the brake pedal much harder to slow the car, and stopping distances can increase significantly. The same issue can disable the anti-lock braking and stability control systems, which help the driver maintain control during hard stops or slippery conditions. The third recall involves the steering spindle, a structural link in the front steering assembly, which can fracture and cause a sudden and sharp increase in the effort needed to turn the wheel, raising the risk of losing directional control.
