Buying a used 2025 BMW I7? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2025 BMW i7 has 2 recalls addressing brake power-assist loss and integrated brake-system malfunction. Both concern braking operation, so recall completion deserves particular attention in the service history. There are 2 unverified owner complaints, with 1 report each in electrical system, air bags, service brakes and forward collision avoidance; category counts should not be added as separate complaints. The record lists 1 crash, 0 fires and 1 injury, without establishing recall-related causation.
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.
- Obtain VIN-specific completion records for both brake recalls.
- Ask about brake-assist problems and brake warning messages.
- Request diagnostic records for air-bag and collision-warning faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
