What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING

What Happened
The steering column shaft bearing plate in your X5 or X6M is a crucial part that helps connect the steering wheel to the front wheels. In some 2019-2020 models, it might not have been attached properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bearing plate comes loose, it could affect how your vehicle handles and steers. This could make it harder to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check the steering column shaft bearing plate and attach or replace it as needed – at no cost to you. This repair has already been done for most owners, but if you've already contacted BMW, you're all set.
