E-Series | Model Description | Production Date |
I20 | iX Sports Activity Vehicle | October 14, 2021 – July 1, 2022 |
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this Recall Campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR, the “Service Menu” of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System), ISPA Next or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
SITUATION
BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective July 5, 2022) on certain Model Year 2022 – 2023 BMW iX SAV vehicles that were produced between October 14, 2021 and July 1, 2022.
In April, BMW Group decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall but due to an issue with the current remedy (software update), those vehicles will need to return to a BMW center to receive a further update.
In addition, this action expands the potentially affected vehicle population.
During supplier production, air bag control unit software may not have been programmed to specifications. As a result, the air bag warning lamp in the instrument cluster may not be illuminated when necessary. Note, air bag deployment in a crash is *not* affected.
The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.
CAUSE
Software error in the air bag control unit (ACSM6).
CORRECTION
Program the vehicle.
PROCEDURE
- Determine the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the ISPA NEXT application. If needed, usethe latest ISTA to work through test modules.
- Is the current vehicle integration level:
YES: Proceed to Step 3
NO: No further action necessary
- Program the vehicle using ISTA 4.36.3 or higher (estimated release July 28, 2022, pending verification).
- Did the vehicle program correctly the first time?
YES: No further action necessary
NO: Program the vehicle a 2nd time and claim WP #2 or #5.
Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory, if required.
Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10).
The following are known issues that might occur during programming:
- Fault code “7E0503 UCAP, secure Ethernet communication: No connection established with MPAD”cannot be deleted.
The fault can be deleted after a vehicle sleep cycle
- When programming vehicles with ADCAM low (without SA 5AU) the Automatic control unit validationmight fail.
Follow the attached procedure “ADCAM Low Validation Procedure”.
Note: INFO123825 will show open on your VIN if it has ADCAM Low. It may still show open up to a week after you’ve done the procedure.
- Automatic Secure Token (LCS) – Download not possible or failed message appears.
Go to “Vehicle modifications” > “immediate measures” > select: “Activate customer functions”. This retries the Activation (SFA) Tokens and synchronizes them.
If this does not work, follow the instructions to download and request the token manually and send them to Technical Support for a response token generation.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to DealerSpeed / TIS / Technical Documentation / Diagnostics and Programming / Programming Documentation.
PARTS INFORMATION
Parts replacement will not provide a solution.
ISTA: Important notes concerning version 4.36.3x
Please note the following concerning ISTA version 4.36.3x for programming models I20
When programming I20 vehicles with ADCAM low (without SA 5AU) to 22-07 the control unit validation might fail. The technician will see the following error message in ISTA:
2. After pressing “Next” ISTA will automatically generate a Validation request file “ValidationRequest_VIN_xxx.json.zip” and opens a dialogue to save this file.
3. Please save the file and continue with measure plan execution.
4. Before sending the file please check if ADCAM low is the root cause of the problem:
If the DTC 0x025D80 – ADCAML: Certificates (type 1) not ready is active in the vehicle please continue with step 3 and do not raise a TSARA ticket.
If this DTC is not in the vehicle please raise a normal TSARA ticket.
5. The request file must be sent to the following E-Mail: adcam-repair-ee332@bmwgroup.com
Please send the file as it is, do not zip it again, unzip it or rename it. Please send only one request file per E-Mail. Example:
6. First you will receive an auto response mail that your request was successfully sent. If the process in the backend is finished you will receive a second response to your E-Mail address Note: if the process works as planned, the response should be received within 30 minutes. Response example:
7. After the positive response you can start a new ISTA session. Please perform an overall coding of the vehicle. This should now work without issues. After this step the Adcam low issue ist fixed.
Problem handling:
1. No receipt of auto response E-Mail => Check your E-Mail (mail box full, firewall) and fix E-Mail problem or resend from different mail account
2. No receipt of “Success E-Mail”: The answer should be received within 30 min, in case of delay please wait 2h before contacting technical support
3. Negative response E-Mail:
- Check if mail was sent correct; (only one request file per E-Mail; file was sent as saved by ISTA no zip/unzip operation or renaming was performed)
- Resend E-Mail from different mail account
In case this does still not work please contact technical support
4. Positive response e-mail, but overall coding does not work => contact technical support

If this were Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-240 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 to occur, the customer may not bring their vehicle to a dealer for service/ repair which could affect the intended operation of either of these systems increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants or pedestrians. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : NR Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Air Bag Control Unit Software Component Description : Air Bag Control Unit Software Component Part Number : 004.012.002 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Continental Address : Osterhofener Strasse 19 PO Box 10093 Regensburg Foreign States 93009 Country : Germany Chronology : In early February 2022, during an evaluation and testing program of a future vehicle, a diagnostic readout of the air bag control unit included an air bag diagnostic code; however, a corresponding warning message was not noticed in the vehicle’s instrument cluster. The air bag control unit supplier was contacted, and an engineering analysis was initiated. The engineering analysis included an evaluation of air bag control unit software functionality. Analyses were conducted to determine the root cause which eventually led to the determination that a programming/coding issue had occurred potentially affecting illumination of the air bag warning lamp and warning message. During the analysis, it was found that this air bag control unit software was also present in the current BMW iX. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles. On April 6, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall.

What’s New (Specific text highlighted): Cause, Correction, Procedure, Claim information added MODEL E-Series Model Description Production Date I20 iX Sports Activity Vehicle October 14, 2021 – July 1, 2022 AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicles which require this Recall Campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR, the “Service Menu” of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System), ISPA Next or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry. SITUATION BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective July 5, 2022) on certain Model Year 2022 – 2023 BMW iX SAV vehicles that were produced between October 14, 2021 and July 1, 2022. In April, BMW Group decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall but due to an issue with the current remedy (software update), those vehicles will need to return to a BMW center to receive a further update. In addition, this action expands the potentially affected vehicle population. During supplier production, air bag control unit software may not have been programmed to specifications. As a result, the air bag warning lamp in the instrument cluster may not be illuminated when necessary. Note, air bag deployment in a crash is *not* affected. The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information. CAUSE Software error in the air bag control unit (ACSM6). CORRECTION Program the vehicle. PROCEDURE 1. Determine the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the ISPA NEXT application. If needed, use the latest ISTA to work through test modules. 2. Is the current vehicle integration level: Model Integration level I20 Lower than I020-22-07-520 YES: Proceed to Step 3 NO: No further action necessary 3. Program the vehicle using ISTA 4.36.3 or higher (estimated release July 28, 2022, pending verification). Model Target integration level Copyright ©2022 BMW of North America, Inc. 7/25/22, 2:38 PM 65 06 22_RECALL 22V-240: AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT 2/5 I20 I020-22-07-520 or higher 4. Did the vehicle program correctly the first time? YES: No further action necessary NO: Program the vehicle a 2 time and claim WP #2 or #5. Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software. Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory, if required. Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10). The following are known issues that might occur during programming: 1. Fault code “7E0503 UCAP, secure Ethernet communication: No connection established with MPAD” cannot be deleted. The fault can be deleted after a vehicle sleep cycle 2. When programming vehicles with ADCAM low (without SA 5AU) the Automatic control unit validation might fail. Follow the attached procedure “ADCAM Low Validation Procedure”. Note: INFO123825 will show open on your VIN if it has ADCAM Low. It may still show open up to a week after you’ve done the procedure. 3. Automatic Secure Token (LCS) – Download not possible or failed message appears. Go to “Vehicle modifications” > “immediate measures” > select: “Activate customer functions”. This retries the Activation (SFA) Tokens and synchronizes them. If this does not work, follow the instructions to download and request the token manually and send them to Technical Support for a response token generation.
