2 known faults with sources

Applies if: Only cars built from June 2022 to 2024; confirm by VIN.

Integrated braking system (IBS) that can fail: ABS and DSC out of action and a hard pedalElectrical and electronic systems

Engine / equipment: BMW X1 and iX1 (U11), 2 Series Active Tourer (U06), 5 Series and i5 (G60), 7 Series and i7 (G70), X5, X6, X7, XM; MINI Cooper (F66 and J01) and Countryman (U25)
Period mentioned: 2022–2024
Symptoms: The brake warning lights and a screen message come on; the pedal needs more force; ABS and stability control stop working.
Possible cause described: BMW recalled more than a million cars built from June 2022 over a supplier’s integrated braking system (Continental’s MK C2, according to the press): interference in its electronics, or broken welds in its servomotor according to the US recall, can make the pedal harder and leave the car without ABS or DSC. The whole system is replaced in about 3.5 hours (KBA 13586, BMW campaign 0034670200); there were waits of months because of parts shortages.
Check for the garage: Check campaign 0034670200 by VIN at a BMW or MINI dealer; if the brake warning appears, go to the garage straight away.

Incorrectly made seat belts (2025 X1, iX1, X2 and iX2)Known weak points

Engine / equipment: BMW X1 and iX1 (U11) and X2 and iX2 (U10) built from 18/6/2025 to 25/8/2025
Period mentioned: 2025
Symptoms: No symptoms in everyday use: the fault only shows in a crash, when the belt restrains less than it should.
Possible cause described: According to alert 41/2025 of the European Safety Gate system (SR/03496/25), the seat belts were not made correctly and, in a collision, their restraint function may be reduced, increasing the risk of injury. About 8,800 cars worldwide are affected (2 Series, X1, iX1, X2 and iX2; BMW campaigns 0072800200, 0072790200 and 0072780200).
Check for the garage: Check by VIN at a BMW dealer whether your car is in the campaign and whether the belts have been replaced.
