BMW and MINI vehicles may lose brake assist power

NHTSA campaign 24V697000 · Reported 2024-09-18 · BMW of North America, LLC

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious, since braking and stability control can fail with little warning; the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, but treat this as urgent and get it repaired right away.

What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether your BMW or MINI is affected.
2. Call your dealer or BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417 to schedule the repair.
3. Have the dealer replace the integrated brake system; there is no charge.
