BMW has recalled more than 70,800 vehicles because the software that controls the electric drive motor can shut down the high-voltage system.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the system shut down could cause the vehicles to lose power, increasing the possibility of a crash.
The following vehicles are part of the recall:
- 2022-2025 i4
- 2022-2024 IX
- 2023-2024 I7
- 2024 I 5
The fix will be a software update done either over the air or by a dealer.
Owners will get a letter in the mail after Aug. 5, but can call BMW customer service at 800-525-7417, the NHTSA said.
