2015 BMW M6 Recall
- Campaign:
- 16V540000 on 07/18/2016
- Component:
- Power train:driveline:driveshaft
- Manufactured:
- 09/02/2014 - 12/03/2014
- Affected:
- 956
- Defect:
- Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2015 bmw m5 sedans manufactured september 4, 2014, through december 4, 2014, 2015 m6 coupes manufactured september 3, 2014, through december 3, 2014, 2015 m6 convertibles manufactured september 8, 2014, through december 4, 2014, and 2015 m6 gran coupe vehicles manufactured september3, 2014, through december 4, 2014. the affected vehicles have a driveshaft that may have been inadequately welded during manufacturing.
- Consequence:
- Due to the improper weld, the driveshaft may fracture and fail, causing loss of drive to the rear wheels and a loss of propulsion. additionally, if the car is turned off and exited without the parking brake applied, the car may roll. either condition increases the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the driveshaft, as necessary, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during september 2016. owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- Notes:
- Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
