BMW Recalls More Than 14,000 EVs That Could Lose Power

• BMW is recalling more than 14,000 iX, i4 and i7 models.
• The recall concerns faulty software that might cause a sudden loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash.
• The remedy is an electronic control unit (ECU) update that will be completed for free.

The report does not give specific build dates for the models involved and instead only says that up to 14,086 models might have the issue. While the i7 has only been around for the 2023 model year, both 2022 and 2023 i4 and iX models fall under the recall. All of their associated trims could be part of the recall, too, as every version of each model was listed in the NHTSA's documentation.

If you own any of the three vehicles and don't want to wait for the notice to arrive in your mailbox, you can call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Have your VIN handy in order to check if your vehicle has been affected.

Edmunds says

It's probably worth getting on the horn and making sure your BMW isn't one of the cars affected by the recall sooner rather than later.
