BMW Automotive (Ireland) Limited has announced a recall for specific models of BMW vehicles, including the 2 series, 5 series, i5, 7 series, i7, X1, iX1, X2, iX2, X5, X6, X7, XM, X5M, and X6M series. The issue at hand involves the hollow shaft of the servomotor, which may not have been welded properly. If this weld fails under high braking pressure, it could result in decreased braking efficiency, requiring more force to stop the vehicle and potentially leading to longer stopping distances.
This recall affects four vehicles in the Republic of Ireland, produced between 06 July 2022 and 13 November 2024. The malfunctioning servomotor could also impact the ABS and DSC brake control systems, reducing their effectiveness and increasing the likelihood of an accident.
Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted directly by BMW to arrange for necessary repairs. If you believe your vehicle may be impacted, you are encouraged to reach out to BMW’s customer care for assistance.
