What Happened
The VANOS unit in your engine controls the timing of the valves that let air and fuel into your engine. Over time, the bolts that hold it in place can loosen and break, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If these bolts break, your engine might lose power or stall. A sudden engine stall could make it hard to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the VANOS bolts for both intake and exhaust valves, free of charge. This repair is included in the recall, and you'll get a notice to schedule it.
