What Happened
The vacuum pump in your vehicle helps assist your brakes with power. In certain BMW models, this pump might not get enough lubrication, which could cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake vacuum pump fails, you'll notice a decrease in braking power. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, especially in an emergency situation, and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will install a locking ring to keep the camshaft seal in place, ensuring proper lubrication and preventing the pump from failing. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
