The steering gear in your vehicle is like a crucial pivot point that helps you steer. In some 2024 BMW models, it might not have been tightened correctly, which could cause it to loosen over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering gear comes loose while you're driving, you could lose control of your vehicle, making it harder to stay on the road and increasing the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the steering gear with a secure one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice, and it's completely free.
