STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
What Happened
The tie rod assembly in your Z4, 330i, M340i, X3M, X4M, or Supra is a crucial part that helps steer your vehicle. It's like a long arm that connects your steering wheel to your wheels, allowing you to turn and maneuver. In your vehicle, there's a risk that this assembly could be damaged in extreme conditions, like driving on rough roads or in very hot temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tie rod assembly is damaged or breaks, you could lose control of your vehicle, especially when steering or turning. This could lead to an accident, especially if you're driving at high speeds or on winding roads.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the steering gear tie rod assembly with a new, more reliable one, at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
