BMW 5,6 AND 7 SERIES Recall

Rear shock absorber mounting may fail

BMW 5,6 AND 7 SERIES recall Jul 2006BMW announced a problem with the 5,6 AND 7 SERIES affecting a total of 3,743 vehicles.

It has been identified that the lower rubber mounting on the metal bush of the rear shock absorbers may fail to meet the quality requirement. Dependant on the mileage and operating conditions the rubber mounting may come completely free from the shock absorber. If this occurs the bodywork would no longer be supported above the wheels, causing it to come into contact with the wheel concerned. Should this occur the possibility exists that a critical driving condition might occur or even the risk of an accident.

Recalled vehicles will have the rear shock absorbers checked, and replaced if necessary.

If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should find your nearest BMW dealer who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
