Federal safety defect crash report & evidence preservation notice associated recall: NHTSA recall 24v-104 (BMW integrated braking system defect) VIN: 3mw69cw02s8f20974 vehicle: 2025 BMW 330i date & time of incident: October 16, 2026, at approximately after 05:00 am incident summary & defect description: on October 16, 2026, at approximately after 5:00 a. M. , I was operating my 2025 BMW 330i (VIN: 3mw69cw02s8f20974). While executing a reverse maneuver, the vehicle experienced a sudden electronic failure of its integrated braking (ib) system. The brake pedal instantly locked up, becoming rock-hard and completely unresponsive to mechanical pedal force. Due to the complete loss of power braking assist, the vehicle could not be slowed or stopped, causing a complete loss of vehicle control. This resulted in a vehicle spin, a structural collision/impact, and full airbag deployment. The vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system caught this internal electronic component failure and transmitted an emergency brake system warning to my mobile app at 05:18 a. M. Correlation to known recall: this failure directly aligns with active NHTSA recall 24v-104 for an internal electronic short-circuit within the integrated braking system module, causing a sudden, total loss of power braking assist. Demand for evidence preservation: I demand that all electronic control units (ecus), event data recorder (edr) "black box" logs, freeze-frame failure data, and the integrated braking system module be safely preserved without modification, overwrite, or code-clearing for forensic data download and investigation.
Before the collision, my 2025 BMW 330i stalled when I tried to accelerate, so I moved into the right slow lane. The vehicle also stalled during the collision. My VIN lookup shows an unrepaired recall involving the starter-generator. I do not know whether the recall issue caused the stalling. My windshield was foggy, limiting my visibility on the left side. I could see to the right and saw another driver trying to go around me. During impact, I tried to regain control, but the steering wheel felt stuck. My vehicle rolled over. I cannot determine whether the visibility or steering conditions contributed to the crash. Dealer refused to let me inspect the vehicle, would not release the footages on BMW drive recorder. Witnesses on chp report stated the rear end collision sent my car up an embankment and flipped 2-3 times in the air before landing on its wheels.
