SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
What Happened
The brake rotors in your vehicle are the part that helps your car stop when you press the brake pedal. In some cases, the rotor may develop a crack where the brake disc meets the parking brake drum, and further cracking could happen while driving, especially when you brake hard.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rotor cracks, it could break completely, causing the wheel to keep spinning while the brake disc stops. This would leave you without any braking power at that wheel, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace both rear brake rotors with new ones, free of charge. You'll get a notification with a specific service date to bring your vehicle in. If you don't get the repair done promptly, contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
