Component
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The ESC control module is a critical part of your vehicle's stability and braking system. It's like the brain that helps your car stay stable and on course. In some 2023-2025 BMW models, the welds in this module's servomotor could break, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the welds break, your power brake assist and rear brake function could fail, forcing you to stop your car slower than usual. This could also cause your ABS and DSC systems to malfunction, making it harder to control your vehicle. If this happens, you're at a higher risk of being involved in a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will replace the faulty ESC control module, completely free of charge. You'll receive a letter with instructions on how to schedule the repair, which should be done as soon as possible.
