NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V653
Component(s): STRUCTURE
Potential Number of Units Affected: 72

Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC

 

SUMMARY:

BMW North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2016 BMW M2 Coupe vehicles, 2015-2017 M3 Sedan vehicles and 2015-2016 M4 Coupe and M4 Convertible vehicles.

During servicing of the rear differential for a prior service action, the rear sub-frame bolts may have been reused instead of being replaced. Reuse of the existing bolts may cause the bolts to loosen.

 

CONSEQUENCE:

Loose rear sub-frame bolts may adversely affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

REMEDY:

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear sub-frame bolts with new bolts, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin October 24, 2016.

Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

 

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
