Details
What's wrong: Due to a manufacturing process error, the connecting rod bolts may become loose during high engine temperatures and/or high engine operating speeds which could result in catastrophic engine damage.
Why it matters: In the event of engine damage, escaping oil could cause handling issues, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the connecting rod bolts free of charge. The safety recall began on June 8, 2012.
