BMW of North America is recalling 428 vehicles after determining that some units did not receive the integrated brake (IB) system remedy from two earlier recalls in accordance with specified procedures, according to a Part 573 filing submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on July 1, 2026. The recall, filed under NHTSA campaign number 26V422, covers a small subset of the population from BMW’s original IB system recalls, 24V-104 and 24V-739, after a review of warranty claims processing in late 2025 turned up indications that the remedy hadn’t been completed correctly on some vehicles. The population spans 15 vehicle listings across the MINI, BMW, and Rolls-Royce brands, including the 2025 MINI Cooper S and Countryman S ALL4, the 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre, and multiple 7 Series, i7, X5, X7, and X1 variants built between 2022 and 2024. BMW says it has not received reports of crashes or injuries tied to the issue, and owners can confirm their vehicle’s status through BMW’s safety recall lookup tool.
Highlights
- 428 vehicles across 15 vehicle listings are covered, with BMW estimating roughly 1% of the population — about 4 vehicles — actually carries the defect.
- The recall traces to a review of warranty claims processing between March and June 2026 that found some vehicles did not receive the IB remedy from BMW’s two earlier IB recalls, 24V-104 and 24V-739, according to specified procedures.
- BMW decided to conduct the voluntary recall on June 24, 2026, and reports no accidents or injuries linked to the issue.
- Dealer notification begins July 8, 2026; owner notification letters are expected to begin August 21, 2026, when affected VINs become searchable on NHTSA.gov.
A Second Attempt at an Old Fix
This recall doesn’t stem from a newly discovered defect. It’s a correction of work BMW already tried to complete. The IB module — which governs power brake assist and feeds the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) — was the subject of two earlier recalls: 24V-104, filed in February 2024, and 24V-739, filed that October. Both required replacing the IB module across a combined population of tens of thousands of vehicles.
BMW’s Part 573 filing for 26V422 states that in late 2025, after both prior recalls had been implemented, a routine review of warranty claims processing turned up indications that some vehicles hadn’t received the remedy according to specified procedures. BMW assembled a team in early 2026 to evaluate every vehicle subject to the IB recall against its service and warranty repair history. Between March and June, the company reviewed vehicle assembly information, supplier production records, and warranty data to identify which vehicles were affected and when they were built. On June 24, 2026, BMW decided to conduct a new voluntary recall to correct the vehicles where the original remedy fell short.
What Happens If the Defect Is Present
The underlying failure mode is the same one described in 24V-104 and 24V-739: if the IB system doesn’t function to specification, power brake assist can be reduced, extending stopping distance, and the ABS and DSC systems may not function, which can affect handling and control. A warning lamp and message will illuminate in the instrument cluster if this occurs.
Fully mechanical braking is not affected and remains available to slow and stop the vehicle. Emergency brake force distribution also continues to function, and the parking brake activates automatically to help maintain stability if the IB system drops out. BMW’s filing does not indicate a “do not drive” or “park outside” advisory for this recall.

The Component and the Remedy
The part at issue is the Integrated Brake Module, supplied by UMOVIO Germany GmbH, a Tier 1 OEM supplier based in Frankfurt. Part numbers involved are model-dependent: 5A8D899, 5A8D8A9, 5A8D8B0, 5A8D8B9, and 5A8D8E0.
Dealers will inspect the IB system and replace it if necessary, free of charge. Owners will be notified by first-class mail and instructed to schedule service at an authorized BMW center, MINI dealer, or Rolls-Royce Motor Cars dealer. Dealer notification is scheduled to begin and end on July 8, 2026; owner notification is planned to begin and end on August 21, 2026, on a phased basis, with affected VINs searchable on NHTSA.gov starting that date. Vehicles previously repaired under 24V-104 or 24V-739 will need the new remedy performed regardless of that earlier work.
