On the 2024-2025 BMW X6, nHTSA lists the 2024 and 2025 X6 among the vehicles in BMW recall 24V104000. The defect is in the integrated brake system, which may malfunction. Owners could experience a loss of power brake assist, which lengthens the distance needed to stop the X6, or a condition where the ABS and Dynamic Stability Control systems do not function properly — the latter can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Note that the X6 also appears in a different integrated-brake campaign, so a prior brake recall repair does not automatically cover this one. The 266,716-unit figure NHTSA publishes applies to the entire campaign across BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce models.

Common Symptoms

  • Loss of power brake assist
  • Extended stopping distance
  • ABS not operating correctly
  • DSC / stability control not operating correctly

How to Fix

Dealers replace the integrated brake system free of charge. BMW mailed owner letters between June and December 2024. Verify your specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and look for campaign 24V104000 by number; if it is open, book the dealer appointment rather than waiting for a letter. BMW customer service is 1-800-525-7417.

On the 2024 BMW X6, nHTSA campaign 26V-422 includes certain 2024 BMW X6 vehicles whose Integrated Brake module may malfunction, reducing power brake assist and potentially disabling ABS and Dynamic Stability Control. The current corrective campaign states that vehicles previously repaired under 24V-104 or 24V-739 require the new inspection/remedy. Applicability is VIN-specific.

Common Symptoms

  • Brake-system warning lamp or message
  • Higher brake-pedal effort
  • Reduced power brake assistance
  • ABS or Dynamic Stability Control warning

How to Fix

Check the VIN at NHTSA and with an authorized BMW dealer when campaign 26V-422 VINs become searchable, and arrange the free dealer inspection and module replacement if required. If a brake warning appears or pedal effort increases, avoid abrupt braking, allow extra stopping distance, stop safely and contact BMW roadside assistance; do not order brake electronics from this card.

On the 2008-2026 BMW X6, the rear differential mount bushings on the X6 wear out due to the vehicle weight and torque loads from the V8 and inline-6 turbo engines. Deteriorated bushings cause driveline vibration, clunking, and can eventually lead to excessive differential movement that damages other components.

Common Symptoms

  • Clunking from rear during acceleration and deceleration
  • Vibration at highway speeds from drivetrain
  • Thud when shifting between Drive and Reverse
  • Rear end looseness over bumps
  • Whining or groaning from rear differential area
  • Accelerated rear tire wear

How to Fix

Replace all rear differential mount bushings. Use OEM or equivalent quality bushings (Lemforder is the OEM supplier). Inspect the differential housing for any damage from excessive movement. Perform subframe alignment check after bushing replacement.

Typical repair cost:$500 - $1,200
