Narrative

RE: 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
