What this recall means for you
A manufacturing flaw in the transmission final drive gear inside the electric drive unit may leave a weld seam improperly made. The weld could break, which can cause the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not applied, and it raises the risk of a crash.
Always apply the parking brake when parking, and take the vehicle to an authorized BMW dealer as soon as possible. The dealer will replace the electric drive unit free of charge. Owners can also check their VIN for open recalls and call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 with questions.
