The 2019 BMW M850i has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel pump that can crack at its mounting flange, leak fuel near the engine, and create a fire risk.
The two remaining recalls both affect the rearview camera system. In one case, the camera image may fail to appear on the display when reversing, leaving the driver with no rear view at all. The other involves a software issue that can cause the rearview image to be missing or reduced, narrowing the driver's visibility behind the vehicle. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the underlying camera display issue, which is why two separate campaigns exist for what amounts to the same backing hazard. Owners who rely solely on the camera screen while reversing face a higher chance of striking an object or pedestrian that would have been visible with a functioning display.
