There are five recalls affecting the 2021 BMW 840I involving systems such as rear visibility, braking, and electrical components. These recalls address safety-critical functions including brake system integrity and battery connections.
Recalls- Rearview camera software. NHTSA recall 21V096000 affects 13,858 vehicles including the 840I. When shifting into Reverse, a portion of the rearview image may be obscured or the screen may not illuminate, failing to meet FMVSS 111 standards. This reduces the driver’s rear visibility, increasing crash risk. BMW will update the rearview camera software free of charge.
- Integrated brake system defect. NHTSA recall 21V062000 involves 893 vehicles including the 840I. The rotor and shaft inside the brake system may not be welded properly and could separate during hard braking, possibly causing loss of ABS and braking assistance. This defect increases crash risk. BMW will replace the integrated brake system at no cost to owners.
- 48-Volt battery connection. NHTSA recall 20V761000 affects 812 vehicles including the 840I Gran Coupe variants. An improper connection between the 48-Volt battery and starter-generator may increase electrical resistance, raising the risk of fire. BMW will inspect and replace the connection if needed free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, unresolved recall issues, or safety defects should review their rights under applicable state lemon laws. These laws may provide protections for consumers with nonconforming vehicles.
