11 recalls across 2 model years
The BMW XM has 11 recalls across the 2023-2024 model years, with the most serious being a brake system malfunction affecting both years where the integrated brake system can lose power assist, extend stopping distances, and cause the anti-lock brakes and stability control to stop functioning, raising the risk of losing control.
The braking issue described above appears across several overlapping filings for 2023-2024 models, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve it for all affected vehicles. The core risk is the same throughout: reduced braking response and potential loss of ABS and stability control function.
The 2024 model year also has a tailgate panel that can detach from its mounting structure and fall onto the road, becoming a hazard for other vehicles. On the same year, a front seatbelt warning system can fail to alert occupants that a belt is unfastened, and the airbag system can deploy incorrectly in a crash.
On 2023 models, loosely fastened connections between the exhaust system and catalytic converter can create a fire risk. There is also a knee airbag issue on 2023 vehicles where the driver and passenger knee airbags may not deploy correctly in a crash, reducing protection for occupants' legs and lower body.
