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. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-240 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.

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.
