Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the brakes. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

Still no fix for this recall. Been 7 months. I am unable to use this vehicle for employment due to its recall status

Recall has been ongoing since February. Received notice and letter that remedy was available and took the car to dealer. Remedy was implemented but it still shows as an open recall. Sees like the manufacturer has failed to remedy or is not able to
Service Brakes Aug 23, 2024 NHTSA owner report
Thankfully, I have not been involved in an accident to-date, but my 2023 BMW X1 has been the subject of a recall involving its braking system since February 2024, with no available remedy as of August 15, 2024. The lack of urgency by BMW to fix an issue involving the safety of its customers and vehicles' occupants is startling.

Are brake problems common on the 2023 BMW X1?

They are documented: NHTSA holds 53 owner complaints naming the brakes on this model year (76% of everything owners filed about it), and 2 recalls are filed under the same heading. Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count, and a count says nothing about how many were sold.

Yes — 2 campaigns are filed under this heading: 26V422000, 24V697000. A recall is matched by VIN; check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

When do brake problems show up on the 2023 BMW X1?

Too few of the complaints carry an odometer reading to say. The model year's page shows the mileage curve across every system where it can.

What does NHTSA's "Service Brakes" heading cover?

The hydraulic brakes, ABS and brake assist. Owners choose the heading when they file, so it says which area of the vehicle the complaint is about, not which part failed.
