What's wrong?
The high-voltage battery cell monitoring circuit in the 2022-2024 BMW Ix and I4 watches the battery cells inside the traction battery. Its job is to help the battery management system read cell conditions and keep high-voltage power flowing correctly while the vehicle is running. In an electric BMW, that power feeds the propulsion system.
On affected vehicles, an electrical connection inside that monitoring circuit was not assembled to specification. The connectors at each end were not properly secured, so vibration or normal vehicle movement can interrupt the electrical connection. If that connection opens while driving, high-voltage power to the propulsion system can be interrupted and the vehicle can stall.
The driver would see a warning message before or during the failure condition. Treat that message as a real warning sign, especially if it appears with a sudden loss of drive power.
Who's affected?
Covers Ix and I4 electric models across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years; all use the same high-voltage battery cell monitoring circuit.
