Details
What's wrong: Variations in electrical current may occur within the electric power steering assistance system, leading to sudden loss of power steering assistance.
Why it matters: Sudden loss of steering assistance may increase the steering effort required to control the direction of a vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering assistance module, free of charge. The safety recall began during July 2012.
