What Happened

The rear sub-frame bolts in your vehicle are crucial for keeping the back of your car stable and secure. In some cases, these bolts might have been reused instead of replaced during a previous service.

Risk if Unfixed

If the bolts loosen on the road, it could make your car harder to handle and control, which increases the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will swap out the old bolts with new ones to ensure your vehicle is safe and secure – and you won't pay a thing for the repair.
