Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: i4 2022 · iX 2022–2023

What is wrong

When using the valet parking mode, a software problem could cause certain warning messages not to appear on the central information display. If this happens, the driver would not be alerted about these specific problems with vehicle components and/or systems. Additionally, it may not be possible to adjust the brightness of the instrument cluster. Canadian regulations require warning lights or messages to display when certain faults are detected. The regulations also require an adjustment for the brightness of the instrument cluster.

Why it matters

A driver that does not get warning messages about problems with vehicle components and/or systems could have an increased risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the head unit software.

Common questions

Does the 2022 BMW i4 have any recalls?
Transport Canada has 5 recalls on record for the 2022 BMW i4. Recall repairs are almost always free at a manufacturer dealer.
What fuel economy does the 2022 BMW i4 get?
NRCan rates the 2022 BMW i4 at 21.1 kWh/100 km combined, with a rated range of 454 km.
What does it cost to run a 2022 BMW i4 for a year?
At 16,249 km a year and Ontario average prices, about $497 in electricity, producing roughly 120 kg of CO2. Ontario is time-of-use, so charging is billed at whichever rate applies when you plug in — the real cost is usually higher than this average. Your own distance and prices will change this — the calculator lets you set both.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
