BMW Australia is recalling 396 examples of its all-electric iX SUV to fix a software issue with the airbag control unit.
This recall affects iX model built between 2021 and 2022.
“Due to a software issue with the airbag control unit, the airbag warning lamp and warning message may not be illuminated in the instrument cluster as intended,” said the company in its recall notice.
“If this occurs the vehicle occupants may not be alerted to the potential failure of the airbag control or pedestrian protection systems.”
It appears this particular recall is an extension of a previous iX recall from May 2022 for the exact same reason, but with more examples affected this time.
- A total of 396 vehicles are affected

If you own an affected vehicle, BMW will contact you to have your vehicle’s airbag control unit software updated free of charge.
If you have any further questions you can contact the BMW Australia Recall Hotline on 1800 243 675. You can also check to see if your vehicle is affected at www.recall.bmw.com.au.
