BMW Issues Recall For Toyota Supra Over Braking Concerns

BMW North America issued a recall on August 2 for just over 50,000 cars, 13,014 of which were Toyota Supras built between February 2019 and June 2021. The problem? According to the NHTSA's official campaign, engine management software could cause the loss of braking assist at startup. That means drivers won't have any power assistance when they hit the brake pedal, making it a lot harder to bring the car to a stop.

In addition to the Supra, the recall in question also affects certain 2020 M340i, M340i xDrive, 540i, 540i xDrive, X3 M40i, 2020-2021 X4 M40i, 745Le xDrive, and 2019-2021 Z4 M40i vehicles. Owners of affected vehicles will be able to take their cars to the dealership to have their software updated free of charge.
