Buying a used 2024 BMW I5? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 21 owner complaints on file

The 2024 BMW i5 has 7 recalls covering high-voltage battery overheating, several brake-system faults, loss of drive power, steering-wheel detection and pedestrian warning sound. Battery and braking issues are the main concerns in this record; detection and warning functions also warrant verification. Its 21 unverified owner complaints include 8 service-brake, 5 electrical-system and 5 electronic-stability-control reports. The complaint record lists 2 crashes, 0 fires and 0 injuries, without establishing that a recalled defect caused those events.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify VIN-specific completion of battery and drive-power recalls.
3. Request repair records for all applicable brake-system recalls.
4. Confirm steering-wheel detection and pedestrian warning sound repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
