NHTSA 22V-541 (July 2022) covers certain 2022-2023 iX xDrive50 and iX M60 and 2022 i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50 vehicles. The high-voltage battery may have internal damage that causes a short circuit and a fire risk. Owners were told not to drive or charge the car and to park outside and away from structures until dealers replaced the battery, free of charge.
NHTSA recall
High
NHTSA 25V-470 (July 2025) covers 136 cars, 130 of them iX, with four i7 and two i4. High-voltage battery cell modules may not have been assembled properly, which can stress the module frame and cause the module to fail, with a risk of fire. Dealers replace specific battery cell modules free of charge.
NHTSA recall
Medium
NHTSA 22V-944 (December 2022) covers about 14,000 cars from model years 2022-2023, among them the iX, the i4 and the 2023 i7 xDrive60. The high-voltage battery control unit software may cause an interruption of electrical power. Dealers update the software free of charge.
NHTSA recall
Medium
NHTSA 23V-295 (April 2023) covers a small number of 2022-2024 iX xDrive50 and 2023 i4 cars. The high-voltage battery cell monitoring circuit may have improperly secured electrical connections, which can cause a stall. Dealers replace the monitoring circuit free of charge.
NHTSA recall
Medium
NHTSA 25V-395 (July 2025) covers certain 2022-2025 i4, 2022-2024 iX, 2023-2024 i7 and 2024 i5 vehicles. The electric drive motor software may shut down the high-voltage system and cause a loss of drive power. The software is updated over the air or by a dealer, free of charge.
NHTSA recall
Low
BMW gives the iX xDrive50 a gross energy content of 111.5 kWh at 369 volts and charging at up to 195 kW. Its release puts the net figure at 106.3 kWh in the text and 105.2 kWh in the specification table, and says a 10 to 80 percent charge takes less than 40 minutes.
Manufacturer
Low
For the iX M60 BMW lists the same 111.5 kWh pack with 106.3 kWh net and 35 minutes from 10 to 80 percent.
Manufacturer
Medium
BMW's US warranty covers the high-voltage battery against defects in materials or workmanship for 8 years or 100,000 miles. The 2022 through 2025 booklets set no capacity floor. BMW added one, at 70 percent state of health, with the 2026 model year booklet.
