Defect

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 M3 Sedan vehicles manufactured May 30, 2015, to September 2, 2015, 2016 M4 Coupe vehicles manufactured July 3, 2015, to September 11, 2015, and 2015-2016 M4 Convertible vehicles manufactured May 29, 2015, to August 4, 2015. The affected vehicles have a driveshaft with a slip-joint that may not have been filled with grease. As a result, the slip-joint may fail over time.

Consequence

If the slip-joint fails, there would be a loss of power to the rear axle and therefore the vehicle would stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driveshaft, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 14, 2016. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies two driveshaft concerns for the 2016 BMW M4. A driveshaft slip-joint may fail if it was not properly greased, potentially cutting power to the rear axle and stopping the vehicle. Another driveshaft connection may fail and cause a loss of propulsion. The structure recall involves rear sub-frame bolts that may loosen after prior service, potentially affecting handling and control. Each condition can increase crash risk. Waiting can leave a safety-related issue unresolved, even if the vehicle currently feels normal. Check your VIN promptly and arrange the manufacturer remedy when applicable.
