What This Recall Means
Component
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
What Happened
The gear shaft in your 1-Series ActiveE connects the electric motor to the transmission. In some 2011 models, the seal around this shaft wasn't properly applied, leaving it without the necessary lubrication.
Risk if Unfixed
Over time, this could cause the connection to wear down, leading to a sudden loss of power while driving. This could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
How to Get This Fixed
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the drivetrain connection, update the sealing system, and replace any worn-out gearings - all at no cost to you. You should contact BMW to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
