BMW recalls 2019-2020 models over ABS fault

BMW has issued a recall for 11 of its 2019-2020 models over a manufacturing fault in the brake booster unit, leading to possible ABS failure under hard braking.

Despite several models being affected, only 49 units are on the recall list, with the cars being sold between July 27, 2019, and November 23, 2020.

The models under recall are:
