Details

What's wrong: The rear upper control arm pivot bolts may have been improperly hardened, possibly causing the rear upper control arms to break.

Why it matters: If a rear upper control arm breaks, it can affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: All affected vehicles remain on dealer lots, therefore owner letters will not be mailed. Bmw dealers will replace both rear upper control arms, free of charge. The recall began September 21, 2018.
