What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM

What Happened

The brake assist vacuum pump in your vehicle helps give you extra power when you press the brake pedal. On certain 2012-2014 BMW models, this pump might not get the lubrication it needs, which could cause it to fail.

Risk if Unfixed

If the brake vacuum pump fails, your brakes will get weaker. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, especially on hills or in emergency situations, and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will make some adjustments to the vacuum pump to ensure it gets the lubrication it needs, and this repair is completely free of charge. You'll be notified when the work is ready, and you should schedule the appointment as soon as possible.
