Details
What's wrong: The front axle swivel bearings may not have been properly heat treated during manufacturing, reducing their strength and possibly causing them to break.
Why it matters: Broken swivel bearings can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw has notified owners and instructed them to not drive their vehicles. Dealers will replace the front axle swivel bearings, free of charge.
