Component
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The ESC control module is a critical computer system in your vehicle that helps you stay safe on the road. It's like a brain that helps your brakes work properly and prevents your vehicle from skidding. In certain models, the welds that hold this system together can break, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the welds break, you could lose power brake assist, which means you'll need to press the brake pedal harder to stop. You could also lose control of your vehicle, especially when driving on slippery roads or making sharp turns. This could lead to a longer stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the entire integrated brake system with a new one that's designed to be more reliable, and it's completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, and you can start by contacting the number on your recall notice or calling BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417.
