BMW of North America, LLC is recalling 3,431 of its 2022-2023 i4 eDrive40 and iX xDrive50 electric vehicles because the artificial sound generator may fail to emit an external warning sound. This noise is required by law to alert pedestrians of the vehicle's approach since electric vehicles are otherwise very quiet. BMW will update the vehicle software to ensure the sound generator functions correctly during start-up.
If the artificial sound generator fails, pedestrians may not hear an approaching vehicle. This lack of an audible warning increases the risk that a pedestrian will be struck by the vehicle, resulting in potential injury.
Software update for the artificial sound generator.
