The
North American Division of BMW has announced a recall involving the
2011 made 328i and 335i because of a problem with the front driveshaft
that could result in a collision.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the
bolts on the vehicles’ front driveshaft may not be tightened to
specifications and they could loosen in time, resulting in a loss of
power to the front wheels meaning one out of two things: breakdown in
the best scenario or a collision.
Apparently BMW didn’t receive any complaints from customers regarding
this problem and the NHTSA didn’t say if accidents, injuries or deaths
have been reported because of this issue.
The German automaker says that about 190 units of the 2011 328i and
335i will be affected by the recall and owners of the two models will
have to make a trip back to the dealership starting next month for no
charge.
If you own a 2011 BMW 328i or 335i and you have questions about the
recall you can contact the automaker directly at 800-525-7417 or the
NHTSA at 888-327-4236 and reference campaign number 11V476000.
