AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this campaign to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in AIR,
AWP, Campaign Summary or Warranty Vehicle Inquiry.
Please make sure you check your dealer inventory as soon as possible. As of May 29, 2025, you can see a
list of affected vehicles in Inventory Campaign Details (ICD) under ROSS.

SITUATION
BMW AG has upgraded this Delivery Stop (effective May 28, 2025) to an Emissions Recall on certain Model
Year 2026 BMW vehicles that were produced between March 10, 2025, and May 7, 2025.
As of July 2, 2025, this Delivery Stop has been upgraded to an Emissions Recall.
Do not deliver to a customer, a New, Certified Pre-Owned or Used vehicle subject to a Delivery Stop,
until the vehicle is repaired. Do not use or sell replacement equipment/parts subject to a Delivery
Stop.
A software error in the transmission control unit (EGS) will prevent OBD/emissions related information from
being read out with a “scan tool”.

CORRECTION
Update the vehicle software via Remote Software Upgrade or ISTA programming.
Required I-Level: S18A-25-03-565 (supported by ISTA 4.53.4x, est. availability early June 2025 pending verification)

PROCEDURE
Remote Software Update (RSU) is the preferred method of vehicle software update for this Delivery Stop/
Service Action.

To carry out the procedure via RSU, follow the instructions in SI B09 01 25.
If RSU software upgrade method is not available for this vehicle, then the vehicle software needs to be
updated via ISTA.
Programming via ISTA
If RSU software is not currently downloaded in the vehicle OR the RSU software currently downloaded is
lower than 07/2025.36, then the vehicle software will need to be updated to S18A-25-03-565 or higher via
ISTA.
Determine what is the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the Key Reader/Aftersales Workplace
(AWP) application.
Programming via ISTA-

Connect the battery charger to the vehicle
Connect the vehicle to ISTA
Determine the measures plan
Accept or work through the entire measures plan with the control units to be
programmed/encoded and, if necessary, activated
Follow the rework list
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory, if required

Notice: No further system change is required after the integration of the programming in ISTA 4. Please
check the rework list accordingly!
ISTA 4.51.1x with installed service data package is required for the programming/encoding.
The solution is included from the following I-level versions:
I-level S18A-25-03-565 or later (available from ISTA 4.53.4x SDP, planned for release on June 6,
2025)
Important Note: It is imperative that programming is carried out with the above- mentioned, or a
more recent I-level!
Note that ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have
the latest software.
Please note the programming information in the workshop system and the corresponding notes in the user
documentation.
LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
After the vehicle has been checked and corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-435) and with the indelible marker
provided, legibly print the Recall name, Recall number, and dealer code (5 digits) on the “Emissions
