A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 77 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
Battery module failure may lead to a shutdown of the high-voltage system which can result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, module failure increases the risk of a fire.
An improperly connected or assembled CCU can interrupt electrical power while driving and result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
Doors that do not lock as intended while the vehicle is in motion may open during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Without external warning sounds, pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2023 BMW I4s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
