© 2022 BMW of North America, LLC Service Information Bulletin October 17, 2022 Electric Drives Please perform the procedure outlined in this Service Information on all affected vehicles before customer delivery. In the event the customer has already taken delivery of the vehicle, please perform the procedure the next time the vehicle is in the shop. RECALL 22V-741: REPLACING REAR DRIVE UNIT (HEAT) MODEL E-Series Model Description I20 iX M60 AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicles which require this Recall 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 It has been determined that a weld seam in the rear electric drive unit (HEAT XLR220) may not have been properly constructed. CAUSE In very rare cases, the weld seam may break due to strong acceleration. This is indicated by a sudden metallic noise from the rear drive area. Continuous driving is only possible or recommended at restricted speed. CORRECTION Replacement of rear drive unit (HEAT XLR220). PROCEDURE Important Warning for Working on the High-Voltage (HV) systems on BMW Group vehicles: Only properly trained personnel, who passed all applicable HV Technical Training Courses, should perform repairs which require disconnecting, or removal of High Voltage battery components on any Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Work performed on High Voltage systems by unqualified persons may result in severe injury or damage to the vehicle. Additional safety information is found in Repair Instruction 61 00… “Observe safety instructions when handling electric vehicles”. Additional Information: Scheduled Maintenance, or Quality Certification 1 (Pre-Delivery Inspection) on Electric or Hybrid vehicles does not require HV technical training. Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled and secured (by means of the HV Disconnect Switch) by a properly trained technician, who has a minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training Course ST1824 (Alternative Drive Part 1). Once the vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” – lightning bolt icon displayed in instrument cluster, see below), a technician without HV Certification may remove a HV component (e.g., EH Heater, EKK Compressor, EME Control Unit, et.), except for the High Voltage Battery. © 2022 BMW of North America, LLC High Voltage Battery removal and rework can be performed ONLY by a HV Specialist Technician (certified by the Technical Training Course ST1825 – Alternative Drive Part 2), AND with a HV Battery Certification level corresponding to a specific Electric or Hybrid vehicle (e.g., to repair GEN4 battery of G05 PHEV, certification from Technical Training Course “ST2006 – SP44 HV Battery” is required). Replace the rear electric drive unit as per repair instructions 12 35 531 – Replace rear highly-integrated electric drive topology PARTS INFORMATION Note on parts availability: At the start of the technical campaign, only a very limited number of parts is available. For this reason, the existing parts will be allocated by the service centre according to respective market requirement. Provision of the parts can take several weeks.

Box 1227 Westwood NJ 07675-1227 Company phone : 18005257417 Population : Number of potentially involved : 1 Estimated percentage with defect : 100 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2023-2023 BMW iX M60 Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : SUV Power Train : HYBRID ELECTRIC Descriptive Information : Approximately 1 vehicle was manufactured with an electric drive unit that may not have been produced according to specifications. Basis for recall population determination: Vehicle manufacturing information was reviewed to determine the potentially affected vehicle population. Recall component difference to non-recall component: The electric drive unit may not have been produced according to specifications. Production Dates : JUL 28, 2022 – JUL 28, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : The electric drive unit may not have been produced according to specifications. A weld seam on the transmission’s final drive gear may not have been produced according to specifications. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Under certain powertrain loading conditions, such as strong acceleration, the weld seam could become damaged and eventually break. This could lead to a Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-741 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 vehicle rollaway after parking the vehicle and not applying the parking brake. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : NR Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Electric Drive Unit Component Description : Electric Drive Unit Component Part Number : 5A64E002 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : BMW AG Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : In late July 2022, during a dynamic driving test at a BMW assembly plant, a vehicle experienced an unusual noise when accelerating up a hill. An engineering review was initiated. In August, initial reviews suggested that damage had occurred on the final drive gear of the transmission on the rear axle. Further analyses revealed that additional incidents had occurred to other vehicles during testing at the assembly plant. Analyses of these vehicles indicated that damage to the final drive gear had also occurred. A review of production records found that the final drive gears on these vehicles were produced during a specific production lot in late June. On September 6, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall. At that time, all potentially affected US vehicles identified were within the control of BMW, were held at the US ports, and would receive an update prior to wholesale release into the US market. Accordingly, on September 13th, BMW submitted a Part 579 report to which NHTSA assigned Foreign Recall ID 22F-152. Subsequent to the submittal of the Part 579 report, further reviews suggested that one additional vehicle, Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-741 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 already in the US market, could potentially be affected. Additional analyses were performed, and it was determined that this one additional vehicle was potentially affected. Therefore, it was determined that a Part 573 report would be necessary. On September 28, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The electric drive unit will be replaced. The one affected owner is being contacted by phone. If necessary, the one owner will also be notified by First Class mail advising them of the recall and to schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW dealer to have the remedy performed for free. If this condition were to occur to a potentially affected vehicle prior to this recall, the remedy would be covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program. Therefore, reimbursement for a pre-notification remedy re Part 573.13 and Part 577.11 is not necessary. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Recall component: Electric Drive Unit – part number: 5A64E002 Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : NR Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Dealer notification is expected to begin and end on October 5, 2022.
