BMW to Recall 7 Cars in China Due to Potential Safety Issues
Beijing, [Current Date] - BMW China has announced a voluntary recall of seven car models due to potential safety issues related to the electronic drive unit. The cars were produced between March 2024 and August 2024.
The affected models include:
- BMW i3: Produced in March 2024 and April 2024, with a total of 2 units recalled.

According to BMW China, the potential safety issue is related to the installation of a faulty internal gear ring in the differential module.

In extreme cases, it may lead to the loss of driving power and the inability to engage the parking lock.
To address this issue, BMW China will provide free replacement of the electronic drive unit for all affected cars. The company plans to notify affected users through various channels, including phone calls and emails, as well as through its official website and social media platforms.
