BMW filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Apr 18, 2025, received Apr 3, 2025, about the suspension — 2 documents under this number: B610225. It names 6 model years (2024–2025). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

This leads to the failure of the roll stabilization,and loss of communication to the EARS modules (S 0421 & S 0422).

One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.
