What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARM

What Happened
Your X3's steering system is made up of several parts that work together to help you steer. The steering spindle is a critical link that connects your steering column to your wheels.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering spindle is not attached correctly, you could lose control of your vehicle's steering, which could lead to a crash. This could happen suddenly and without warning, making it hard to steer your car safely.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check the connection between your steering spindle and column and replace any faulty parts or the entire spindle and column if needed – all for free. You'll get a recall notice in the mail, and you can call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions.
