As I mentioned above, any iX manufactured after March 2023 will have the newer headunit installed. Vehicles built after July will have iDrive 8.5 already installed, but BMW has already announced that upgrades will be available later for those with the newer headunits.

Interesting! Tried my VIN and got a message ‘no open issues found’, but dealership told me my car has a ‘stop sale’ in place.

Same for me “no open issues found”……

There may not be a campaign number yet. Considering this is a safety recall, It will probably show up on both recall sites eventually. Just for context, some items will not show up on the BMW recall site, but will show up on this one. An example of this is the seat module reprogramming or any other service bulletins that require service, but aren’t necessarily related to safety recalls.

“There is an open safety-related recall for this vehicle. Please book an appointment online for your vehicle here or contact your local BMW Service Partner here for more information. Recall code: STOP024546”

Here is the site where I found the recall campaign no. Note that I had to use Google Translate to covert it to English:

Anyone got any update on timelines?

If you give your VIN to your service advisor, they will see this exact same stop sale campaign It will come back either remedy or no remedy available. It will most likely be no remedy available.

I’m calling my advisor mid-week, as my car just arrived at the Newark port today. Let you guys know if any updates.

I imagine we are all on the same sale stop for the cruise control issue (STOP024546).

This will most likely be every iX both past and present. Note that if you already have your iX and you take it in for service, they will not want to give it back to you because of the stop sale - but they can’t force you to keep it there. This was exactly the same with the recent airbag recall.

BMW was able to OTA update the issue some owners had with the high-voltage warning?

Wondering if they can fix this the same way.

I doubt it. That was just a warning. This will probably require flashing firmware on some sort of module that can’t be done remotely. That’s my guess.

[BMWamped]

So I decided to just do a build and configure my car from scratch. There’s no stop sale on cars that haven’t been built yet!

I get this as well for the M60:

There is an open technical improvement on this vehicle. Please book an appointment online for your vehicle here by selecting "Service on Demand" or contact your local BMW Service Partner here for more information. Upgrade code: 0061630700

Which appears to be the seat module update (since the M60 didn't need the airbag replaced).

That is the seat module reprogramming. In my case, it was preventing OTA updates. And all iX’s in North America were part of the recall campaign if they were built before March of this year including the M60. Perhaps yours was done before you took delivery. All 2022-2023 X1’s were also part of the airbag recall.

[Paladin1]

Never got a recall notice on the M60 (Feb 2023), electronic or letter, and the VIN doesn't indicate it on the NA site or the app, but it does show up on the German site (but nothing about the airbag, and I believe the cutoff was post 02/23, inclusive)....

Yours was probably taken care of at the VPC before it got to the dealer.

So that's what that is - thanks - I've seen this one for a while and now also see the STOP on my March built 2024 M60.
So glad I already have it

[Bmwno6]

Got pictures of my iX that has now arrived and sitting at the dealer waiting for the fix. Looks nice but frustrating I cannot have it.

Scheduled this morning for both cars (iX50, M60) for next week - SA estimates 4h. Doesn't show up on the NA recall site or MyBMW, but SA sees both of them (STOP and seat module).

It will show up here once you convert the results to English:

That's how I found it (presumably the SA's connection is to Bayerische Motoren Werke AG as well ). As a side note regarding unintentionally pressing the ACC activation button, after some time experimenting I found it impossible to do on my car. The controls are well below the plane of the steering wheel, contact feel with the button is obvious, and it's protected by a plastic surround. I have average-size hands, and am trying to imagine someone with larger (REALLY larger) hands oddly manipulating the steering wheel, and I suppose anything's possible, but for me at least it requires a very intentional button push to activate. Will be interesting to see what this update actually does, since it obviously doesn't relocate the controls, but the service scheduler mentioned a "programming unit" update, whatever that might be (at least I think that's what she said).
