SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Safety Recalls

Critical #21V062000 Plain English
Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The integrated brake system is a crucial part of your vehicle's brakes, responsible for helping you stop safely. In some 2020-2021 BMW models, there's a problem with the welding process that connects the rotor and shaft, which could cause them to separate during hard braking.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens while you're driving, your vehicle could lose its brakes and anti-lock braking system, making it harder to stop safely. This increases the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty brake system with a new one, free of charge. You'll get a notification letter, and you should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as you receive it. This timing describes the original 2021 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
