Component
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
What Happened
The constant-velocity joint is like a flexible elbow that connects your transmission to your wheels. In certain 2013-2016 BMW models, this joint can wear out prematurely.
Risk if Unfixed
If the joint fails, you could lose power to the rear wheels while driving, making it harder to control your vehicle. If you park without engaging the parking brake, the car could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty joint and inspect the transfer case, and do any necessary repairs, all for free. When you get the recall notice, schedule the repair to get this critical update done.
