Recall Alert: 2011 BMW 328i, 335i
In the affected vehicles, which were built between Feb. 8 and July 29, the front driveshaft attachment bolts may not be tightened to specification and may become loose over time. If the bolts loosen, the front wheels may lose power and cause a vehicle breakdown, increasing the risk of a crash. You can check when your car was built on a label affixed to the driver’s side doorjamb.
The recall is expected to begin next month. BMW dealers will replace the bolts for free. Owners can call BMW at 800-525-7417 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
