What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

What Happened
The parking pawl guide plate in your vehicle's automatic transmission helps keep your car from rolling away when you put it in park. Unfortunately, some of these parts were made incorrectly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the parking pawl fails, you could roll away on an incline without realizing it. This is particularly risky if you're parked on a hill and don't have the parking brake on.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty guide plate with a new one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you get this notice and ensure your safety on the road.
