BMW iX Electric SUV Faces Recall in Several Markets Due to Safety Concerns BMW has issued a safety recall in select markets due to a potentially deadly fault related to unintended acceleration. The popular electric SUV from BMW, the iX, has been subject to a global recall following reports of unintended acceleration. In a surprising turn of events, BMW has issued a recall order for its flagship electric model, the iX SUV, in multiple countries. The recall aims to address a potential fault related to sudden and unintended acceleration, which has raised concerns among owners. The issue initially surfaced in 2022 when several iX owners reported instances of their vehicles accelerating without their intent. While the fault was initially suspected to be related to the cruise control system, investigations revealed a different cause. It was discovered that the steering angle could inadvertently lead a driver's hand to unintentionally hit the cruise control button, triggering sudden acceleration. According to BMW, the scenario occurs when a driver engages and deactivates the cruise control, then inadvertently presses the button again without realizing it. The positioning of the cruise control button, including the speed-setting feature, appears to be the underlying cause.
