Defect

BMW North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2016 BMW M2 Coupe vehicles, 2015-2017 M3 Sedan vehicles and 2015-2016 M4 Coupe and M4 Convertible vehicles. During servicing of the rear differential for a prior service action, the rear sub-frame bolts may have been reused instead of being replaced. Reuse of the existing bolts may cause the bolts to loosen.

Consequence

Loose rear sub-frame bolts may adversely affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear sub-frame bolts with new bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 24, 2016. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA identifies two safety recalls for the 2015 BMW M4. The structure recall involves rear sub-frame bolts that may have been reused during earlier rear differential service; if they loosen, handling and control may be affected, raising crash risk. The driveshaft recall involves a slip-joint that may not have received enough grease. A failure could interrupt power to the rear axle and cause the vehicle to stop moving, also increasing crash risk. These conditions may not be obvious during everyday driving, so waiting to investigate can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A complimentary VIN check helps determine whether BMW still shows a remedy as open.
