BMW Australia is recalling over a dozen vehicles across multiple model lines due to a brake booster system defect.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, a component of the brake booster system may have been incorrectly welded and could break,” the company says in its recall notice.
“If this occurs, a higher pedal force will be required and the braking distance may be extended. In addition, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems may not function.
“Drivers will be alerted by the brake warning light in the instrument cluster and a message will appear on the central display.
“A reduction in braking performance and/or a loss of vehicle control could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
It’s understood the recall is unrelated to the earlier recall of 26,491 BMW-built vehicles – including the X1/iX1, X2/iX2, X5 and X6 – due to a brake system fault in August.
If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with a BMW dealership to have the work carried out, free of charge.
If you have any further questions, you can contact BMW Australia’s Recall Hotline on 1800 243 675.
