What Happened
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 if Unfixed
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.
Free Fix
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.
