What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

What Happened
The brake line in your vehicle is a hose that carries brake fluid from the master cylinder to the front brakes. It's held in place by a bracket near the front strut, but in some cases, it can come loose and rub against the tire.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, brake fluid could leak out, and you might notice your brakes don't perform as well as they used to. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, especially in an emergency.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will add a second clip to keep the brake line securely in place and inspect the brake hose. If it's damaged, they'll replace it with a new one – all free of charge. You'll get a notice with a suggested service date, but if you don't get it done in a reasonable time, contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.

Affected Vehicles

2002 BMW X5
