Affected:

Defect:
Bmw is recalling 55 my 2008 x5 sport utility vehicles for problems with the rear axle stabilizer (anti-sway bar). these vehicles were equipped with a sports-suspension stabilizer rather than a standard suspension stabilizer on the rear axle.
Consequence:
In certain driving conditions, such as fast lane changes at high speed, the vehicle could experience an 'over-steer' behavior affecting vehicle handling and control, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the rear axle stabilizer. the recall began on may 14, 2008. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117 or via e-mail to customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
Notes:
Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump
Manufactured:
10/31/2007 - 08/30/2008
Affected:
20,750
Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2008 x5 savs vehicles with 6-cylinder engines manufactured from november 1, 2007 through august 31, 2008. due to a manufacturing process fault, the fuel pump was not produced to specifications. under specific vehicle operating conditions, the fuel pump's commutator could experience an increase in wear.
Consequence:
This wear could lead to fuel pump malfunction and engine stalling. engine stalling could create a potential for a crash resulting in injury or death.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the in-tank fuel pump free of charge. the safety recall began on january 11, 2011. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.

Consequence:
An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Correction:
