6 recalls across 4 model years
The BMW M850i has 6 recalls covering 2019 through 2023, with the most serious affecting 2019 models where the high-pressure fuel pump can crack at its flange, leak fuel near ignition sources, and create a fire risk in the engine compartment.
On the brake side, 2020-2021 models can lose anti-lock brake function and power brake assist due to a hydraulic system fault, extending stopping distances and raising crash risk. Also on 2020 models, the front seatbelt pretensioners and airbags can deploy incorrectly in a crash, reducing protection for the driver and front passenger.
Two separate recalls address the rearview camera on 2019-2020 models: one where the camera image fails to appear at all when reversing, and another where the image is missing or reduced due to a software issue affecting 2019-2021 vehicles. Both leave the driver without rear visibility while backing up.
The 2023 model year has a software issue where the windows and sunroof can close on their own without the key present, which can trap or injure someone inside the vehicle.
