What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

What Happened
The electric power steering system in your vehicle uses a control unit to help power your steering. In certain cases, the contact pins on this unit may not have been properly welded, causing friction that could lead to a problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If the contact pins are not welded correctly, you could experience a fire, even when your vehicle is parked and turned off. This is a serious safety risk.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your vehicle was actually already fixed at the dealership before it was sold to you, so there's no repair needed. But if you have any questions or concerns, you can contact BMW's customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Affected Vehicles
