A recall has been issued for faulty battery software that affects every BMW electric vehicle sold in America, including the i4 four-door coupe, iX SUV, and the still-fresh i7 luxury sedan.
Specifically, the high-voltage battery electronic control unit (ECU) software could interrupt electrical power. This temporary loss of power while driving or a possible stall could increase the risk of an accident, and BMW will be keen to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
This follows a recall of the iX earlier in 2022 for a faulty airbag control unit shortly after it was launched. It again raises question marks about the reliability of high-tech EVs despite them having fewer moving parts than ICE cars.
