DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
Posted on: 2020-03-27
Description
Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain 2013-2016 328d xdrive sedans and 2013-2015 328d xdrive station wagon vehicles. The constant-velocity joint which transfers power between the transfer case and the rear drive shaft, may become damaged, possibly resulting in loss of power to the rear wheels.
Consequence
A loss of power to the rear wheels can affect vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the vehicle is parked after a loss of power to the rear wheels and the parking brake is not engaged, unintended rollaway can occur, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Corrective Action
Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the constant-velocity joint and inspect the transfer case, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began may 22, 2020. Owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
