Each campaign in detail

Système de freinage intégré (IBS) : rappel
Manufacturer recall
Un défaut du module de freinage intégré peut réduire l'assistance de freinage et allonger les distances d'arrêt. En France, 54 000 BMW et 10 000 Mini produites entre juin 2022 et le 9 août 2024 sont concernées, dont la Série 7 (G70-G73), selon un relais de L'argus sur MA-BMW. Auto123 cite la Série 7 2023-2025 dans un rappel élargi à environ 278 000 véhicules.
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).
