The 2023 BMW XM has 7 recalls, the most serious being a loose exhaust connection near the catalytic converter that raises the risk of a fire, and a brake system malfunction that can reduce stopping power and disable anti-lock brakes and stability control.
The brake issue means the vehicle may need significantly more distance to stop, and without functioning anti-lock brakes or stability control, the driver can lose control during hard braking or on slippery surfaces. On the airbag side, both the driver and front passenger knee airbags may not deploy correctly in a crash, which raises the risk of lower-body injury to the front occupants.
