Suspension · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the lower rubber mount of the rear shock absorbers may not have been manufactured to specifications and may not adhere correctly to its housing within the shock absorber.
Why it matters: The bushing could loosen and over time could separate from its housing. The driver will experience impaired vehicle handling and control increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the rear shock absorber free of charge. The recall began on September 13, 2006.
