2023-2025 BMW Multi-Model Recall 24V697: Brake Module

Recall 24V697 covers 309 2023-2025 BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce vehicles for broken integrated brake module welds. Repair is free at any franchised BMW dealer.

What's wrong?

The integrated brake module is the brake control unit used on the affected 2023-2025 vehicles in this BMW recall. Inside it, an electric servomotor helps create power brake assist, so the brake pedal does not rely only on the driver's leg force. The same module also supports ABS, which helps prevent wheel lockup, and Dynamic Stability Control, which helps the vehicle stay controlled during hard braking or low-traction driving.

The defect is in the servomotor weld. BMW traced the issue to improper welding of the hollow shaft, leaving a gap between welded parts inside the servomotor. When strong braking force is applied, that weld can break. If it breaks, the vehicle loses power brake assist and rear brake function, and ABS and Dynamic Stability Control do not function as intended.

Before the failure, the driver will see a warning lamp and a message in the instrument cluster. Treat that warning as a brake-system fault, not as a routine service reminder.

Who's affected?

The same integrated brake module appears under stability-control and hydraulic-brake listings for each included model.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

Loss of brake power assist or rear brake function lengthens stopping distance. Loss of ABS or DSC affects handling and control, increasing crash risk. A warning lamp and instrument-cluster message alert the driver, so treat either as a reason to slow down, pull over safely, and schedule service. Repair is free at any franchised BMW dealer.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2025 740I, Cooper, X7, Spectre, X2, I7, X1, X5, X6, I5, 540I, Xm, 530I, 750E, Cooper S, Jcw Countryman ALL4, or Countryman S ALL4 vehicle is included in this BMW recall.
2. Contact a franchised BMW dealer to schedule the free integrated brake system replacement.
3. Bring the recall notice BMW mailed on November 13, 2024. If you do not have it, reference recall number 24V697 when you call.
4. Ask the dealer to confirm that the repair restores power brake assist, rear brake function, ABS, and DSC operation.
5. Drive with extra following distance until the repair is complete, since reduced brake assist or rear brake function can increase stopping distance.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a BMW technician replaces the integrated brake system covered by recall 24V697. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the BMW, MINI, or Rolls-Royce New Vehicle Limited Warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork for the integrated brake system.
