What Happened
The rear sub-frame bolts in your vehicle are crucial for keeping the back of your car stable and secure. In some cases, these bolts might have been reused instead of replaced during a previous service.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bolts loosen on the road, it could make your car harder to handle and control, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will swap out the old bolts with new ones to ensure your vehicle is safe and secure – and you won't pay a thing for the repair.
