Each campaign in detail

  1. Batterie haute tension : rappel pour risque d'incendie

    Manufacturer recall

    Une alerte européenne Rapex (37/2022, signalée par l'Allemagne) concerne des iX, i4 et i7 fabriqués du 5 juillet 2021 au 8 juillet 2022 : un défaut de fabrication peut entraîner des pannes de la batterie haute tension et augmenter le risque d'incendie. Le rappel américain équivalent (22V541) précise un court-circuit possible par dommage interne, corrigé par le remplacement gratuit de la batterie. Faites vérifier avec le numéro de série chez BMW.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
