SITUATION
BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective April 20, 2023) on a small number of Model Year 2023 BMW i4 vehicles that were produced between August 5, 2022, and March 28, 2023.
An electrical plug connection may not have been assembled to specifications and, while driving, could result in stalling.
The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.
The bulletin will be updated when additional information becomes available.
CAUSE

CORRECTION
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”.
Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled and secured (by means of the HV Service Disconnect Switch and lock out) by a properly trained HV technician, who has a minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training Course “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” which as of 1/2023* includes ST1824 Alternative Drive Part 1.
* Note: As of January 2023, the HV component portion of the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage class” (except for the High Voltage Battery) has been merged into “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems”.
Up to Generation 4 Vehicles: Once the vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” – lightning bolt icon is 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.
For Generation 5 Vehicles however, the specific vehicle training is required to diagnose, remove and service any HV component and it is NOT allowed for non HV certified technicians to work on the high voltage system.
High Voltage Battery removal and rework can ONLY be performed by a High-voltage Certified Technician with a HV Battery Certification level corresponding to a specific Electric or Hybrid vehicle, for example:
To repair GEN4 HV battery of G05 PHEV a certification from Technical Training Course “ST2006 – SP44 HV Battery” or equivalent ST1825 – Alternative Drive Part 2 is required (or as of 1/2023 the equivalent “ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”).
And
To repair A GEN5 HV battery the Technical Training Course “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage class” is required or as of 1/2023* the equivalent “ST 2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”.
*Note: As of January 2023, the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage stand-alone class” has been merged into “ST2324 for High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” and “ST2325 for High Voltage Battery Systems”
Replace CSC per REP 61 27 539 – Replacing CSC (After vehicle diagnosis) (lid for the high-voltage energy storage system removed).

Chronology :
On March 14, 2023, BMW became aware of a vehicle quality check anomaly involving its electrical system during an end-of-line test at a vehicle assembly plant. A vehicle hold was issued, and an investigation was initiated.
Preliminary information indicated that the test anomaly involved the vehicle’s high-voltage battery Cell Monitoring Circuit (CSC). The high-voltage battery supplier was contacted, and information was reviewed including production process records and images.
Further reviews indicated that an electrical connection within the CSC may not have been assembled to specifications, as certain connectors may not have been properly secured. It was suggested that this could lead to an interruption of electrical power.
By April 6th, the complete review of the supplier production process images from start-of-production was completed. Additional testing including test bench and dynamic shaker tests were performed. On April 14th, the analysis of the test data suggested that the interruption of electrical power could occur while driving.
Vehicle assembly information and supplier production and process records were reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles.
On April 19, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
In late April, a vehicle quality check during an end-of-line test at a vehicle assembly plant identified an electrical system anomaly. It was suggested that this could be similar to the issue that had been identified earlier. Additional analyses were conducted and, on May 20, 2023, BMW decided to add additional potentially affected vehicles to the voluntary safety recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

CORRECTION 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”. Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled and secured (by means of the HV Service Disconnect Switch and lock out) by a properly trained HV technician, who has a minimum HV Qualification level after completing the Technical Training Course “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems” which as of 1/2023* includes ST1824 Alternative Drive Part 1. * Note: As of January 2023, the HV component portion of the “ST2205 Generation 5 High-voltage class” (except for the High Voltage Battery) has been merged into “ST2324 High Voltage Drivetrain Systems”.

A vehicle hold was issued, and an investigation was initiated. Preliminary information indicated that the test anomaly involved the vehicle’s high-voltage battery Cell Monitoring Circuit (CSC). The high-voltage battery supplier was contacted, and information was reviewed including production process records and images. Further reviews indicated that an electrical connection within the CSC may not have been assembled to specifications, as certain connectors may not have been properly secured. It was suggested that this could lead to an interruption of electrical power. By April 6th, the complete review of the supplier production process images from start-of-production was completed. Additional testing including test bench and dynamic shaker tests were performed. On April 14th, the analysis of the test data suggested that the interruption of electrical power could occur while driving. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production and process records were reviewed to determine the number, and production dates, of potentially affected vehicles. On April 19, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
