BMW X4
Model Overview
Building on the compact X3's platform, the X4 is labeled a coupe for its sleeker roofline. Rear-seat occupants get less space here, but adults still fit. There's also plenty of typical-for-BMW performance on offer thanks to available power that rivals what the M3 boasted not that long ago. It may be polarizing, but there's no arguing against how much style the X4 contributes to the crossover class.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
11 83 24RC
Units Affected:
78,381
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, fluid from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system could leak on the intake air hose. As a result, the fluid could enter the electrical connector for the water pump and cause a short circuit.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises you to park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the water pump and electrical connector. The dealer will also install a shield on the connector.

Safety Risk:
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the ITCU. The dealer will also inspect the transmission fluid and replace it, if necessary.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
71 80 21RC
Units Affected:
2
Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Issue:
The tire and loading information label on a small number of vehicles lists the wrong tire size and recommended tire inflation pressures. As a result, if the owner's manual isn't consulted, a person may not properly inflate the tires. This could lead to poor handling and/or a tire failure. In addition, when the tires are replaced, the wrong tires could be installed.
Safety Risk:
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
None of the affected vehicles have been sold to retail customers. BMW will instruct dealers to replace the tire and loading information label before each vehicle is sold.

Notification Type:

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the vacuum pump to be damaged during engine starting. If this happens, there could be a loss of brake assist. This can cause an increase in brake pedal effort and increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle.
Safety Risk:
A sudden increase in brake pedal force could lead to an increased stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the engine management software.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the seat trim may not be properly attached to the front passenger seat. Over time, this could cause the occupant classification system (OCS) not to work properly. If this happens, the airbag system can turn off the passenger-front airbag even when an adult is sitting in the seat.
Safety Risk:
In a crash where an airbag is required, an airbag that does not inflate could increase the risk of injury for an adult passenger.
Corrective Action:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to make an appointment with a dealer to replace the front passenger seat cushion (including the occupant classification system).

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the rearview camera does not return to the default settings when it turns on. This could make the rearview image difficult to see if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display brightness at or near the lowest setting, and contrast at or near the highest setting. Canadian regulations require that the rearview display returns to the default view each time the camera is turned on.
Safety Risk:
Reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rearview camera. Drivers are recommended not to adjust the display brightness at or near the lowest setting, and contrast at or near the highest setting, until this recall is completed.

On certain vehicles, a crankshaft sensor error may cause the engine to stall. This would result in a loss of motive power, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor. Note: This condition would result in the illumination of the check engine warning lamp and an “engine malfunction” message appearing in the instrument cluster. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2018-373.

On certain vehicles, the housing of the driver's frontal airbag inflator may have been incorrectly welded during manufacturing and could separate from the base plate during an airbag deployment. If the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's frontal airbag.

On certain vehicles, the lower anchor bars that are used for installing child seats using the European-ISOFIX-type rigid-style connector may become damaged during vehicle operation. If the lower anchorage bar(s) were to become damaged, this would increase the risk of injury to a child seated in a child seat using this style of connector if involved in a crash. Correction: Dealers will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body. Note: Child restraint systems using LATCH-type flexible style connectors, which reflect the vast majority of child restraint systems used in Canada, do not cause this issue.
