Service bulletins for the 2025 BMW i5

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

24 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

B6120252025-11-03. Service campaign. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RSU availability. It is possible the State of Health (SoH) of the high-voltage (HV) battery is displayed incorrectly to the customer. The value is continuously displayed as 100% regardless of the actual ageing of the HV battery.
B6409252025-09-03. Service campaign. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. A faulty electric auxiliary heater may have been installed in the certain vehicles. This could result in thefailure of the electric auxiliary heater, utilized for the vehicle interior.
B3411252025-08-24. Service campaign. SERVICE BRAKES. The parking brake actuator has not been wound correctly so that it cannot be applied or released. Check Control message “Parking brake failed. When parking, secure the vehicle against rolling away. Mustbe checked by the Service Partner.” The vehicle is still held by the unaffected side and the transmission lock.
B3407252025-06-17. Service bulletin. SERVICE BRAKES. A loud “click”- type noise can be heard from the rear axle brakes when driving off forwards, and/or in reverse.
B6108252025-05-31. Service campaign. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The operating time value was written too high in the Storage Management Electronics (SME) during thehigh-voltage battery “End Of Line” (EOL) test. The excessive operating hours input results in a significant limitation in the charging capacity when vehicleis be charged with DC.
