NHTSA recall 06V187000
Suspension · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the nuts which secure the front axle control arm and tension strut to the front wheel hub may not have been tightened to specification. Over time the nuts could loosen and the control arm and tension strut could be damaged.
Why it matters: Vehicle handling and control could compromise increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will retighten the front axle control arm and tension strut nuts to the correct specifications free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2006.
