2020 BMX X5 xDrive40i experienced recall issue 24V-104. Year of vehicle is not included in recall 24V-104. I did not receive a notice of recall issue 24V-104. This recall should be extended to additional Years of this model of vehicle. Was driving in traffic on a state highway. Utilized breaks to stop the vehicle and brakes failed. Received warning notices through the cars system that aligned exactly with the errors expected to be received in Recall 24V-104. If I had been driving at a higher speed, I would not have been able to stop the vehicle and would have crashed into the vehicle in front of me at a high rate of speed, causing grave harm to myself and any individuals in the car ahead of me - and potentially any other car/individuals that were around me. The vehicle was inspected by an independent service center, which confirmed that brake failure was identical to current recall 24V-104. Auto shop only found out about the recall because they attempted to order new part and was informed that part could not be sold due to recall. Recall did not appear when VIN was searched. The problem was confirmed by the independent service center. There were no prior warnings, messages, or other systems of this problem prior to the failure and this is the first time it was experienced.

A few months ago there was a recall on my car (some problem with starter engine) and after few month I started the engine by pressing the brake pedal and pressing the start button. But the engine did not start, I saw smoke from under the hood, then I opened the hood and saw fire near the engine on the right (driver's) side. People in the parking lot helped put out the fire with a fire extinguisher while I called 911 for fire department, they came and recorded it (fire slip -[XXX]), [XXX}., Houston, Texas, 77043 (place where it happened). I have pictures and videos this incident. We were afraid that we would die in this car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
