Campaign:
05V367000 on 08/25/2005
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
07/07/2005 - 07/18/2005
Affected:
165
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles, the attachment of the brake line support bracket within the front left wheel well was not welded according to specifications. it could loosen and over time the brake hose could rub against the wheel well.
Consequence:
The front left brake hose could become damaged to the point where a loss of brake fluid could occur increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will re-attach the brake line support bracket to the front left wheel well free of charge. the recall began on september 20, 2005. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.

Component:
Power train:automatic transmission
Manufactured:
07/31/2005 - 09/29/2005
Affected:
240
Defect:
Certain passenger vehicles may have been built with an incorrectly manufactured automatic transmission parking pawl guide plate.
Consequence:
This could cause the parking lock system not to engage, after the transmission is placed in the park ("p") position. if the vehicle was parked on an incline, and the parking brake was not engaged, this could result in a vehicle rollaway condition.
Correction:
Dealers will repair and replace the automatic transmission guide plate free of charge. the recall began on november 30, 2005. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-332-4269.

Defect:
Certain aftermarket bmw bike carriers, p/n 82110393954, sold for use on my 2005 bmw x3 and x5 vehicles. a pinch bolt exists between the bike arm bracket and the upright assembly of the hitch style bicycle rack.
Consequence:
When moving the bike arm bracket to its down position, this pinch point has the potential of causing a severe injury to the user's finger or hand.
Correction:
