Component
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The ESC control module is like the brain of your car's stability system. It helps you stay in control by adjusting your brakes and engine power. In certain 2023-2025 models, the welds that hold the control module together could break, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the control module fails, you could lose power brake assist and rear brake function. This means it'll take longer to stop, and you might skid or lose control of your vehicle. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty stability control system with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and don't hesitate to reach out to BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions or concerns.
