Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Braking

NHTSA identifies two recalls involving the brake vacuum pump in the 2013 BMW Z4. Insufficient lubrication may cause this pump to fail, reducing the power assistance that helps the vehicle brake. Reduced braking power can increase the risk of a crash, making an unresolved recall more than a paperwork concern. One BMW remedy installs a locking ring in the camshaft to retain the camshaft seal disk correctly; the other modifies the vehicle to prevent insufficient vacuum pump lubrication. Because the safety remedy is defined by BMW, waiting can leave a known braking risk unaddressed. Contact our team promptly if you received a notice or have any concern.
