The 2024 BMW XM has 5 recalls, the most serious being a brake system defect that can reduce power brake assist, extend stopping distances, and cause the anti-lock brakes and stability control to stop working properly.
The brake issue spans multiple filings but describes the same underlying problem: the integrated brake system can malfunction in ways that leave the driver with less stopping power and reduced vehicle control. On the structural side, the tailgate panel can detach from its mounting due to inadequate adhesive bonding, sending debris into the road and creating a hazard for other vehicles. There is also a seatbelt concern: a fault in the warning system can prevent the seatbelt indicator light from alerting occupants that a belt is unbuckled, and the airbag system may not deploy correctly in a crash, both of which raise the risk of injury.
