Recalls that may affect cars built around 2022
4 of the BMW I4’s 7 recalls in DVSA’s records cover cars built during 2022.
The 2022 on this page is the year of first registration, not the year the car was built. A car first registered early in 2022 may have been built in 2021, and recalls apply to particular build dates and VINs, so check the recalls either side too.
| Launched | Concern | Built | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23 Jul 2025 | Replacing the Cell Module of the High-Voltage Battery | 3 Jun 2022 to 7 Jun 2023 | 2 |
| 1 Aug 2023 | On affected vehicles due to a supplier component production process error a damaged Combined Charging Unit may have been installed. | 21 Jun 2022 to 4 Jul 2022 | 27 (all models) |
| 8 May 2023 | A cable bridge connection connecting two circuit boards within the cell supervision circuit (CSC) might not have been installed properly. | 8 Apr 2022 to 15 Nov 2022 | 28 (all models) |
| 21 Oct 2022 | During the supplier s production process of the battery cells a manufacturing defect occurred. During assembly of the cell the cathode plate may have been damaged and a broken piece may have entered the interior of the cell. | 13 Jul 2021 to 7 Oct 2022 | 211 (all models) |

Data sources and methodology
| Figures | Source | Period | Records | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MOT results and mileage | Anonymised MOT tests and results Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Derived statistics UK Motoring | 2025 | 6,334 MOT tests of 2022 BMW I4 cars | 15 September 2026 |
| Cars on the record | Vehicle licensing statistics Department for Transport | End of 2025 | 6,160 cars still on the record (licensed or SORN) | 15 September 2026 |
- MOT figures cover normal tests in Great Britain in 2025 of BMW I4 cars first registered in 2022; retests are excluded. “All cars” means every car we match to a model, first registered in 2022.
- Year of first registration is DVSA’s first-use date: when the car was first registered, in the UK or abroad.
- Defects and advisories are DVSA’s descriptions made readable. Where on the car a defect was found (side, front or rear) is ignored, so the same fault on any wheel counts once per test.
- Mileage is the odometer reading at each car’s latest normal MOT of the year, as recorded by the tester. A few readings are in kilometres or mistyped; percentiles are not thrown by a handful of outliers.
- Cars on the record come from DfT table VEH0124 and cover the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland; MOT figures cover Great Britain only.
- DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
