EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's driveshaft, which connects the transmission to the rear wheels, may have a weak weld that could break, causing a loss of drive and potentially making your car roll away if you exit it without the parking brake.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the driveshaft breaks, you could lose control of your vehicle, which could lead to a crash. The car could also roll away and cause an accident.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
BMW will contact you to schedule a free inspection and replacement of the driveshaft, if necessary, at a dealership. This service is complimentary and will be done at no cost to you.
