2023-2025 BMW Multi-Model Recall 26V422: Brake Assist

Recall 26V422 affects 428 2023-2025 vehicles for an integrated brake system malfunction. Repair is free at any franchised BMW dealer.

What's wrong?

The integrated brake module on these 2023-2025 BMW vehicles is the electronic and hydraulic unit that helps manage braking pressure. It provides power brake assist, the boost that reduces pedal effort, and it coordinates the Antilock Brake System and Dynamic Stability Control. ABS helps keep the wheels from locking during hard braking. Dynamic Stability Control helps the vehicle stay more settled when traction changes.

The problem is tied to the earlier brake recall repair. Some vehicles left that repair process without the remedy performed under BMW procedures. That leaves the integrated brake module at risk of malfunction. If it malfunctions, the vehicle loses power brake assist, or the ABS and Dynamic Stability Control systems do not function properly.

The warning sign is a warning lamp and message in the instrument cluster. If that appears, the vehicle is telling you the brake system needs attention before normal assist and stability functions are trusted.

Who's affected?

VINs become searchable on August 21, 2026; until then, the VIN-by-VIN list is not public.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

Loss of power brake assist can extend stopping distance. Malfunctioning ABS or DSC systems can cause loss of vehicle control and increase crash risk. A warning lamp and instrument-cluster message are the signal to slow down, leave extra room, and call a BMW dealer. Repair is free at any franchised BMW dealer.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2025 BMW 740I Xdrive, 740I, X1, X6, X7, Xm, 540I Xdrive, 530I Xdrive, 530I, I5, 760I Xdrive, I7, X5, Cooper S, X2, Countryman S ALL4, Spectre, or 750E Xdrive is included in this recall.
2. Contact a franchised BMW dealer to schedule the free integrated brake system inspection and replacement, if needed, for the brake-assist, ABS, and DSC malfunction.
3. Bring the recall notice if BMW has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V422 when you call.
4. Tell the dealer if your vehicle was repaired under recall 24V739 or 24V104; those vehicles need this new remedy completed.
5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a BMW technician inspects the integrated brake system and replaces it if the inspection shows the new remedy is needed. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If your vehicle was already repaired under an earlier related brake recall, it still needs this new remedy completed. Give the service desk your VIN so they can confirm the open campaign and order the correct brake system parts before the visit.
