SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The integrated brake system in your vehicle is crucial for stopping safely. The rotor and shaft inside this system might not have been welded correctly, which could cause a serious problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If your brakes fail during hard braking, you'll lose the assistance of the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and other braking features. 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, at no cost to you. You'll receive a letter with instructions on how to schedule the repair, and you should do so as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
