Buying a used 2024 BMW XM? Check these 6 recalls first
Six recalls, all rated high or critical, and brakes account for four of them: power assist loss, integrated brakes needing inspection, and a module fault that can weaken braking and stability control. The other two are a tailgate panel that may detach from the vehicle and front seat belt sensing that can be misread, affecting airbags. Seven unverified owner complaints are on file, spread thinly across wheels, service brakes, steering and tires, with no crashes or injuries.
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.
- Check all four brake recalls are closed on this VIN.
- Inspect the tailgate panel and ask about the detachment recall.
- Confirm the front seat belt sensing recall was done.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
