## What the record says

- **Product**: BMW I5 M60 (2024) - Recall 23V885000
- **Reason**: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 i5 eDrive40 and i5 M60 vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles." Without external warning sounds, pedestrians may be unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
