BMW and MINI vehicles may lose brake assist power critical

Reported 2024-09-18 · Campaign 24V697000 · Model years: 2024

Welds inside a small motor in the brake control unit can break. If that happens, you lose power brake assist and the rear brakes stop working, so the pedal gets hard and the vehicle needs much more distance to stop. The anti-lock brakes and the stability control may also quit, which makes the vehicle harder to keep under control. Dealers will replace the whole brake unit for free.
