2 recalls covering model years 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
BMW is recalling a single 2025 i4 eDrive40. On that car, the connection where the positive battery cable meets the rear power distribution box may not be tight. A loose connection can cut power and make the car stall while you are driving. It can also get very hot, which can start a fire. A dealer will check that cable connection and tighten or repair it if it is not right.
The software that runs the electric drive motor can shut down the high-voltage system. If that happens, the vehicle loses drive power and will not pull, even though you are still steering and moving. BMW is fixing this with a software update. For many owners it arrives over the air, downloaded by the car itself, and a dealer can also install it. Either way there is no cost. Notification letters went out in August 2025.
