BMW i7 Recalls (2023-2025)
The BMW i7 has been the subject of 14 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2023 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, electronic stability control (esc), and service brakes.
The BMW i7 scores 13 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 86% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 86% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 14 campaigns span 3 model years of the BMW i7. The single largest affected 266,716 vehicles, over electronic stability control (esc). A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common i7 problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the BMW i7 may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

Common questions about BMW i7 recalls
- Does the BMW i7 have any recalls?
- Yes. NHTSA has 14 recall campaigns on record for the BMW i7 across the 2023 to 2025 model years. The most common areas are the electrical system, electronic stability control (esc), and service brakes.
- How many times has the BMW i7 been recalled?
- The BMW i7 has 14 recall campaigns from the 2023 to 2025 model years. A single campaign often covers several model years at once, so the number of recalls is not the same as the number of years affected.
- What is the most serious BMW i7 recall?
- The most serious recall on record involves the electronic stability control (esc), affecting 266,716 vehicles. A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle. Additionally, malfunctioning ABS and/or DSC systems can cause a loss of vehicle control. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
- Which BMW i7 model year has the most recalls?
- The 2023 BMW i7 has the most, with 12 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
- How do I check if my BMW i7 has an open recall?
- Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.
Recall data comes from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. For how it is sourced and how the safety score is built, see the methodology and data sources. This page is a reference, not legal or safety advice.
