BMW iX: deaths and injuries the manufacturer reported to NHTSA
BMW reported 27 incidents alleging a death or injury in a BMW iX, model years 2022–2025, in its quarterly Early Warning reports to NHTSA (49 CFR 579.21), through 2026 Q1. Each is a claim the manufacturer received, not a finding; NHTSA does not verify them.
