BMW of North America, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 2023-2025 BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models and model years. The integrated brake (IB) system may malfunction and result in a loss of power brake assist or cause the Antilock Brake (

The vehicle experienced intermittent electrical failures, including screen blackouts/reboots during startup and while driving. These events affected visibility of vehicle information and settings. The drive mode selector malfunctioned, limiting the ability to select Eco, Normal, Sport, or Off-Road modes. Drive modes directly affect throttle response, braking behavior, and vehicle control. On multiple occasions, braking and acceleration behavior felt inconsistent with selected drive mode, creating safety concerns. The issue is intermittent and was reported to an authorized dealer. The dealer was unable to consistently reproduce the issue but did not dispute that the concern was reported. The vehicle remains available for inspection.

The vehicle exhibits a persistent and repeatable service brake defect involving jolting/binding at complete stops, accompanied by uneven brake application and a failure of the friction surfaces to clear oxidation during normal operation. At low speeds and during final braking load, the vehicle produces a distinct clunk/release sensation, as if braking force is abruptly released just before stopping. This creates an unexpected weight-shift and inconsistent stopping behavior. The condition has occurred consistently since approximately 4,000 miles and has persisted through multiple dealer service visits. Physical inspection shows progressive circumferential rotor banding, pitting, and corrosion on all four wheels that does not clear with normal driving. This indicates the brake pads are failing to make uniform contact with the rotors, compromising the integrity of the vehicle's primary safety system. The dealer has acknowledged the symptoms but has declined Integrated Brake (IB) Module

Not even 2 months from vehicle being purchased had to replace 2 tires and then 5 months later tire comes completely of the axel while driving on a highway and caused an accident were vehicles was declared total

The center display and driver display shut off while car was in motion. There was no speed indication or any information about the car available to drive safely. The computer system is occasionally slow to load. There are no indications prior to the problem happening. It has happened twice while driving. The car has less than 6,000 miles. I have reported this problem to a dealer. There have been additional problems to the software systems, and the dealer service department did a complete software reload/reflash of the system. This problem has occured after the service.

Aug 8, 2025, I was stopped in a parking lot, I decided to roll forward, when I took my foot off the break, the car jumped 5-6 ft forward. I immediately slamed on the break to stop it from moving. The car hit with a low speed impact a pole like thing with concrete around it. The speed didn't even register on the speedometer. My car shows no damage, I have photos. However, my car immediately flashed the Yellow warning "Restraint system." along with RED highlighting both the seatbelts and airbags. I called Mini USA as instructed. Mini USA said "That warning should go away a few hours after calling. If you see no damage then it should be fine. If not, call the dealership." It did not go away. I called Schomp Mini the dealership, [XXX] who used to be the general manager said: "Call the insurance company, this sounds like it's not a mechanical defect since it is an outside event." I called Geico. Geico said "If there is no damage on the bumper, then we consider it a manufacturi

The morning of Tuesday 12/24/24 while driving the car at 30-40 mph, in the dark, all systems suddenly shut off - by all systems I'm mean the engine, all interior and exterior lights, the "computer" screen.  Everything went black in an instant.  After a second of two the car lurched back to life.  I was able to pull over at that point.  The only "idiot light" that came on was a yellow engine symbol.  I opened it and a screen came up that said "Check Control", "No entries". If this had happened with traffic around I could have been injured in an accident.  If it had happened on the nearby Interstate and highway speeds, I could have been killed. I am taking the vehicle to the dealer today for evaluation. There have been no professional inspections at this time. For the two months that I've had this car there have been repeated problems with the "boot up" process when trying to start the car. It at times displays wrong information, does not recognize the "key fob", forgets previous

When making a right turn, and turning speed, our new cars braking system activated, locked the brakes, and steering wheel, causing the vehicle to slide into oncoming traffic. The cars safety system overrode the driver, now allowing me to maneuver away from on coming traffic until the vehicle came to a complete stop. I believe the reason it did this, is the cars safety system thought it was about to be in a head on collision being fed wrong AI to the cars computers and cameras. The vehicle had less than 300 miles at the time of the incident.
