Do not drive
NHTSA advises owners to stop driving affected vehicles until the remedy has been completed.
What the defect is
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2020 X3 sDrive30i, X3 xDrive30i, and X3 M40i vehicles, X4 xDrive30i, and X4 M40i vehicles. The front axle swivel bearings may not have been properly heat treated during manufacturing, reducing their strength and possibly causing them to break.
Why it matters
Broken swivel bearings can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
BMW has notified owners and instructed them to not drive their vehicles. Dealers will replace the front axle swivel bearings, free of charge. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
