My only worry is that BMWNA is probably more conservative as to how comfortable they are with releasing cars than what countries are in Europe.

You had to throw some cold water on all that hopium we just got didn’t you… ugh! Now how am I going to sleep tonight with that little nugget floating around in my head?!

Very true! Money still speaks the loudest…

I would assume that BMW NA will go the same way than BMW AG will do in Germany and Europe.

It's safe to still drive these cars, the software update is just planned to increase the sensibility of the sensors.

It will just take time for the dealers to install the updates, so this will probably be some bottleneck - at least in the beginning.

I wonder if someone with knowledge of the US market can chime in here. This breaking system recall that has been present for a while, were cars previously allowed to be delivered with this open recall in the US and the stop sale is now new?

The reason I ask is in the UK the breaking system safety recall has always prevented cars with the issue from being delivered or sold. Some cars are unaffected and I'm sure BMW know which parts they have in them etc. Is it possible that knowing this going forward they have ensured that cars destined for the UK market would not be included in the recall, else they cannot be delivered.

If the US didn't prevent the delivery of cars in the recall up until recently I can see them continuing to produce cars with the faulty part for the US market.

My 2025 40i was produced early spring this year. I’ve not heard from SA so is there a site to check your vin?

The recall addition and stop sale is new. The recall that had been in place allows the vehicles to be driven and then repaired later when parts are available. When the original stop sale (last winter) was issued it was months after the last affected vehicle was produced so the volume was a lot lower. I have not been able to find out if they just released the vehicles, repaired them our did some type of temporary fix to allow the sale.

Thanks for the info.
In the UK they were 100% waiting on parts to do the repair and were unable to sell them until they had been done.
I know this for definite as I enquired about quite a few CPO X5's and waited a few months for them to be available, in the end gave up and did a new order.

So I just spoke to my SA. I had checked both BMW recall site and NHTSA site. Both show no open recalls on my X5 built on 8/6 and currently sitting in dealer inventory. My SA checked as well internally and all of his X5 and X7 inventory except mine have the stop sale. He is going to go further up the line. I would rather not pick up the vehicle if there is a potential brake malfunction.

Has anyone else with a recently completed X5 checked and had their vehicle show up as no recall?

[LoveMyX5G05]

Just a small update. BMW has completed the update. BMW dealers should be able to access it tomorrow.

Deliveries can start tomorrow once the update is installed.

The update will just determine if a car is equipped with the faulty part and will turn off some functions. Cars can be safely driven and faulty parts will be replaced through the normal recall process.

Thank you for the update. Do you know which function it will limit ?

Thank you again for that bit of info. Much appreciated! Hopefully it holds to be true.

@ryan_gamage

A small range of selected cars is affected by this.

I don’t know exactly which functionality is affected but it’s not affecting the core capabilities of the brakes. Rather think of it as small and supportive things that are helpful for the brakes but not essential for them to do their job.

Interesting that this is from Feb 2024 and yet they continued to make cars with faulty parts? Having reservations about accepting the car for $90k with an open recall

[LoveMyX5G05]

From what I understood, the full scope of faulty parts was not correctly recognized.

BMW also cut ties with Continental who delivered the faulty part.

[Ryan_gamage]

Also i wonder if this is going to limit some driver assist features. If thats the case even if we pay for the feature we wouldn’t be able to use it until its fixed and it could be few weeks to months until thats available for a replacement. Hopefully it limits the functionality only if its already not working properly.

That would make sense as it is often dependent on the batch of parts being used.

Yes, that is for sure.

[Ryan_gamage]

Yeah because im pissed that my brand new x5 will be in the repair-shop soon for this shyt and BMWNA knowing the issue still used the faulty supplier. Well what can you do

Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
