What Happened
The integrated brake system in your vehicle is a complex part that helps your car stop smoothly. In some 2020-2021 models, the rotor and shaft inside this system may not have been assembled correctly, which could cause them to separate during hard braking.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you could lose the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and have reduced braking assistance. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the entire integrated brake system with a new one, completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, which was mailed on May 25, 2021.
