Buying a used 2025 BMW I7? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2025 i7 shows a short recall list: two high-severity brake campaigns, one for loss of power assist and one for integrated brakes that may fail and need inspection. No critical or do-not-drive recalls are listed for this year. NHTSA has a single owner complaint on file, which reported a crash and an injury and touched air bags, service brakes and forward collision avoidance. One unverified complaint is not a pattern, but the brake recalls are worth confirming.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Verify both brake recalls, including the inspection, were completed by a dealer
- Check that no air bag or brake warning lights are illuminated at startup
- Ask whether the car has any accident history or prior brake system repairs
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
