2024 BMW X5
BMW, Mini and BMW-tuner Alpina have been hit by a wide-ranging recall.
According to a federal government recall notice, 26,491 BMW, Mini and Alpina vehicles sold between 2022 and 2024 have a manufacturing defect that may cause signal interference in the electronic braking systems, impacting a driver’s capacity to fully administer their brakes.
The recall notice from the Federal Government reads: “due to a manufacturing defect, signal interference may occur within the electronics of the brake system. If the fault occurs, a higher pedal force may be required for braking. The anti-lock braking system and dynamic stability control will also not be available.”

Drivers will be alerted by the brake warning light in the instrument cluster and a message will appear on the central display.
While the recall notice doesn’t list the exact models impacted by the braking defect, judging by BMW and Mini’s sales figures between 2022 and 2024, the recall is estimated to affect a wide range of vehicles sold during that period including the X1, X5 and X7 SUVs and 7 Series sedan.
CarsGuide has contacted BMW to confirm the exact models impacted by the recall and whether the issue must be fixed via a software update or a new part.
