Warum ruft BMW aktuell Fahrzeuge zurück?

BMW hat 1,5 Millionen Fahrzeuge aufgrund von Problemen im Bremssystem zurückgerufen. Betroffen sind Modelle ab Baujahr 2022, bei denen es zu einem Ausfall des ABS (Antiblockiersystem) und der DSC (Dynamische Stabilitätskontrolle) kommen kann. Dies führt dazu, dass die Bremskraft stark reduziert wird und die Sicherheit gefährdet ist.

Welche Fahrzeuge sind von dem Rückruf betroffen?

Der Rückruf betrifft verschiedene Modelle ab Baujahr 2022, darunter der BMW 2er Active Tourer, BMW X1, iX1, BMW XM, BMW X5, X6, X7 (LCI Modelle), BMW 5er und 7er Limousinen, Mini Cooper und Countryman sowie der Rolls-Royce Spectre.

Was passiert, wenn mein Fahrzeug von der Systemstörung betroffen ist?

Wenn Ihr Fahrzeug von der Systemstörung betroffen ist, sollten Sie dringend handeln. BMW bietet ein Software-Update an und in manchen Fällen den Austausch des Bremssystems. Der Auslieferungsstopp für neue Fahrzeuge kann jedoch 3–5 Monate dauern, da die notwendigen Ersatzteile nicht sofort verfügbar sind.

Kann ich vom Kaufvertrag zurücktreten, wenn mein Fahrzeug betroffen ist?

Ja, bei einem nachgewiesenen Mangel haben Sie das Recht, vom Kaufvertrag zurückzutreten. In solchen Fällen müssen Sie das Fahrzeug zurückgeben, und der Kaufpreis wird Ihnen erstattet, abzüglich einer Nutzungsentschädigung für die Zeit, in der Sie das Fahrzeug genutzt haben.

Welche Rechte habe ich als betroffener BMW-Kunde?

Als BMW-Kunde haben Sie bei einem Fahrzeugmangel das Recht auf Minderung des Kaufpreises, Rücktritt vom Kaufvertrag oder Schadensersatz. Auch die Möglichkeit der Ersatzlieferung besteht, jedoch ist dies durch den aktuellen Auslieferungsstopp erschwert.

Was passiert, wenn mein Fahrzeug mehrere Monate in der Werkstatt ist?

Leider besteht kein genereller Anspruch auf ein Ersatzfahrzeug oder einen Mietwagen, während Ihr Fahrzeug in der Werkstatt ist. Dies bedeutet, dass BMW-Kunden möglicherweise über Monate hinweg ohne Fahrzeug auskommen müssen. Es ist daher ratsam, rechtlich gegen BMW vorzugehen, um eine Entschädigung oder den Rücktritt vom Kaufvertrag zu erwirken.

Wie lange habe ich Zeit, meine Ansprüche geltend zu machen?

Die gesetzliche Sachmängelhaftung gilt für zwei Jahre ab Kaufdatum. Für Fahrzeuge, die im Jahr 2022 gekauft wurden, verjähren die Ansprüche Ende 2024. Sie sollten also so schnell wie möglich handeln, um Ihre Rechte zu wahren.

Übernimmt meine Rechtsschutzversicherung die Kosten für rechtliche Schritte?

In der Regel übernehmen alle deutschen Rechtsschutzversicherungen die Kosten für rechtliche Schritte gegen BMW, wenn der Rechtsschutzvertrag bereits beim Kauf des Fahrzeugs bestand. Sollte keine Rechtsschutzversicherung vorhanden sein, können wir Ihnen eine Prozesskostenfinanzierung anbieten, sodass Sie ohne Risiko vorgehen können.

Was sind meine Chancen vor Gericht gegen BMW?

Die Erfolgsaussichten sind sehr gut, insbesondere bei sicherheitsrelevanten Mängeln wie einem defekten Bremssystem. Die Gerichte entscheiden häufig zugunsten der Verbraucher, was zu einer Rückgabe des Fahrzeugs oder zu Schadensersatz führt. Wir von Rogert und Ulbricht haben bereits zahlreiche Verfahren gegen große Automobilkonzerne erfolgreich geführt.

Dangerous brake failure: recall and system failure in BMW vehicles

BMW is currently not only struggling with a recall of 1.5 million vehicles due to braking system malfunctions, but now the first serious accident involving an affected vehicle has also occurred. A BMW X7, purchased a few months ago, was on its way to a vacation with a family and dogs when a sudden and unexpected malfunction of the braking system occurred. Despite the luck that the accident happened at a speed of only 120 km/h on a limited stretch of highway, the failure of ABS and DSC led to a dangerous collision.

BMW's questionable reaction:
No system failure, but replacement of the brake system?

Shortly after the accident, BMW told the press that after checking the vehicle, no faults were found in the braking system. This statement raises serious questions, especially after the owner of the vehicle received a recall of his vehicle three days after the accident, which explicitly pointed out a possible failure of the ABS and DSC. He was also informed that high brake pressure was required to brake the vehicle safely.

However, BMW later stated that the vehicle involved in the accident had been diagnosed with a system malfunction and that the integrated braking system (IBS) would need to be replaced. These contradictory statements suggest that BMW is trying to downplay the incident in order to avoid taking responsibility for the first accident related to the system malfunction.

BMW customers have rights: use them!

For a new car, the statutory liability for material defects applies for two years from the date of purchase. This means that warranty claims for vehicles purchased in 2022 will expire at the end of 2024. Act quickly to secure your claims!

BMW customers have the right to withdraw from the contract or to reduce the purchase price. In many cases, compensation can also be claimed. However, there is no general right to a replacement vehicle or a rental car during repairs. It is unacceptable that your vehicle is left in the workshop for months without being offered a replacement!

Why is withdrawing from the purchase contract a sensible option?

The vehicles affected by the recall have serious defects that not only affect the market value but, above all, safety. In such cases, withdrawing from the purchase contract is a legitimate and sensible option. If a manufacturer such as BMW cannot guarantee the safety of the vehicle, you as the buyer have the right to withdraw from the contract and receive the full purchase price back in return for returning the vehicle.

In addition to withdrawal, there is often also the option of claiming compensation for loss of assets and possible loss of use. This applies in particular to cases where BMW makes customers wait several months for repairs without offering replacement vehicles or adequate compensation.

What does the recall issue mean legally for BMW customers?

Defects and contradictory statements

From a legal perspective, BMW customers have strong arguments in this situation. According to the statutory liability for material defects, you have the right to a delivery free of defects. Since the vehicles in question are not in the condition agreed upon in the contract, you can assert claims for withdrawal, reduction or compensation.

Particularly problematic is the contradictory communication from BMW. First, it was claimed that the braking system was working properly, only to confirm the diagnosis of a system malfunction a few days later. These contradictory statements can be considered deception, which significantly increases the chances of success in legal proceedings.

Your chances in court

The courts generally decide in favor of consumers, especially when it comes to safety defects in new vehicles. In many cases, the affected vehicles are taken back in return for a refund of the purchase price and a deduction of the so-called usage fee. Alternatively, customers can assert claims for damages if there is evidence of a defect that has led to financial losses or loss of use.

Our law firm Rogert and Ulbricht has extensive experience in representing consumers against automobile manufacturers. We have already successfully conducted numerous proceedings and know exactly how to best enforce your claims.

coverage of costs by legal expenses insurance

Currently, all German legal protection insurance policies cover the costs of legal action against BMW if the corresponding legal protection contract already existed at the time the vehicle was purchased. This means that affected customers who wish to assert legal claims against BMW are financially protected and do not have to bear any risk with regard to the costs of legal and court costs. This cost coverage usually includes all steps in the process so that you can concentrate on the best possible representation of your rights. The prerequisite is that the legal protection contract was already concluded at the time the vehicle was purchased and the legal risks are therefore covered.

Why is BMW currently recalling vehicles?

BMW has recalled 1.5 million vehicles due to problems in the braking system. Models from 2022 onwards are affected, in which the ABS (anti-lock braking system) and DSC (dynamic stability control) may fail. This leads to the braking force being greatly reduced and safety being compromised.

Which vehicles are affected by the recall?

The recall affects various models from 2022 onwards, including the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW X1, iX1, BMW XM, BMW X5, X6, X7 (LCI models), BMW 5 Series and 7 Series sedans, Mini Cooper and Countryman, and the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

What happens if my vehicle is affected by the system malfunction?

If your vehicle is affected by the system malfunction, you should act urgently. BMW offers a software update and, in some cases, replacement of the brake system. However, the delivery stop for new vehicles can last 3-5 months because the necessary spare parts are not immediately available.

Can I withdraw from the purchase contract if my vehicle is affected?

Yes, if a defect is proven, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase agreement. In such cases, you must return the vehicle and the purchase price will be refunded to you, less compensation for the time you used the vehicle.

What rights do I have as an affected BMW customer?

As a BMW customer, you have the right to a reduction in the purchase price, withdrawal from the purchase contract or compensation if there is a defect in the vehicle. There is also the option of a replacement delivery, but this is made more difficult by the current delivery stop.

What happens if my vehicle is in the workshop for several months?

Unfortunately, there is no general right to a replacement vehicle or a rental car while your vehicle is in the workshop. This means that BMW customers may have to make do without a vehicle for months. It is therefore advisable to take legal action against BMW to obtain compensation or to withdraw from the purchase contract.

How long do I have to assert my claims?

The statutory liability for material defects applies for two years from the date of purchase. For vehicles purchased in 2022, claims expire at the end of 2024. So you should act as quickly as possible to protect your rights.

Does my legal expenses insurance cover the costs of legal action?

As a rule, all German legal protection insurance policies cover the costs of legal action against BMW if the legal protection contract already existed when the vehicle was purchased. If you do not have legal protection insurance, we can offer you legal costs financing so that you can proceed without risk.

What are my chances in court against BMW?

The chances of success are very good, especially in the case of safety-related defects such as a defective braking system. The courts often decide in favor of the consumer, which leads to the vehicle being returned or compensation being awarded. We at Rogert and Ulbricht have already successfully conducted numerous cases against large automobile companies.

How can the Rogert and Ulbricht law firm help me?

Our law firm specializes in representing consumers against automobile manufacturers. We offer you a free initial assessment and are committed to ensuring that you can enforce your right to withdrawal, reduction or compensation.
