Details
What's wrong: The pivot bolt on the front lower-left control arm may not have been properly hardened, which may cause the control arm to break.
Why it matters: If the lower control arm breaks, vehicle handling and control can be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the lower-left control arms and replace if necessary, free of charge. The recall began July 11, 2018.
