2018 BMW X1 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 BMW X1 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a steering tie rod that can break due to improper assembly, causing a sudden and complete loss of steering control. The B-pillar on certain vehicles may not absorb enough energy in a crash where an occupant's head makes contact with it, raising the risk of head injury beyond what the safety standard permits. The taillight mounting brackets can crack and allow the tail lights to loosen or fall off the vehicle entirely, leaving the car without working brake lights or turn signals and potentially dropping debris into the road. There is also a brake-related compliance issue where the anti-lock brake system warning light may not illuminate during startup as required, leaving the driver without confirmation that the ABS is functioning properly.
