The 2020 BMW M8 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the transmission wiring harness, which can short circuit and cause the transmission to drop into neutral, cutting drive power without warning.
On the braking side, a separate recall covers a hydraulic brake assist defect that can disable the anti-lock braking system and reduce the power assistance that the brake pedal relies on, meaning stopping distances can increase significantly, especially in hard braking situations. The third recall involves the rearview camera software, which can display a degraded or missing image when reversing, leaving the driver without a reliable view of what is behind the vehicle.
