NHTSA recall 08V693000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Due to production and assembly tolerances, the length of one or more of the front brake disc fasteners may be insufficient. If the length of a fastener was insufficient, this could result in the fastener not being tightened according to specifications.
Why it matters: If this happened, the fastener could work loose from its threads. In some cases involving multiple fasteners, the brake disc could loosen, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will remove the brake disc fasteners and replace them with new longer fasteners. The recall is expected to begin during January 2009.
