Details
What's wrong: Pressure inside the transmission may cause the transmission output seal to be pushed out of place.
Why it matters: If the output seal ring is pushed out of its proper position, oil may leak from the transmission onto the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will fit a bracket to prevent the transmission seal from being pushed out of position, free of charge. The recall began on June 17, 2014.
