What Happened

The brake control module is a computer that helps your vehicle's brakes work smoothly. In some 2023-2025 BMW and 2024-2025 Rolls-Royce models, this module may not work correctly.

Risk if Unfixed

If the brake control module fails, you could lose power brake assist, making it harder to stop your vehicle. This could also cause your vehicle to skid or lose control, increasing the risk of a crash.
