ShareWhatsAppFacebookXEmail

One of these notices was reworded after it was announced. The authority changed the remedy on 26V438. The register shows only the current wording. This site keeps both, with the date each was read and a fingerprint of the text, so the change is provable.

Campaigns naming each model year, as filed with NHTSA

This page lists every US recall campaign that named the BMW Z4 for model year 2010 or later, as filed with NHTSA. It counts 23 campaigns. CarsMultiverse is an independent site, not an authority. The list was read from the NHTSA flat file FLAT_RCL_POST_2010.txt (file dated 10 September 2026) and this index was built on 11 September 2026. Each campaign links to the site's own page for it, where one exists, or to the notice at NHTSA.

This site holds seven national and European registers. BMW Z4 is named on 6 American notices, 27 Canadian, 8 British, 12 European, 11 Japanese and 15 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules. Nothing here says any one of them is another one in a different country.
