Buying a used 2024 BMW X1? Check these 3 recalls first

Categories can overlap. The complaint record includes 3 crashes, 0 fires, and 1 injury.
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 all 3 brake recalls.
- Ask about lost brake assist, unusual pedal feel, and brake or ESC warnings.
- Have stored faults and reported forward collision avoidance problems reviewed.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
