BMW due to an insufficient sealing of the drivetrain housing assembly there may be a lack of grease lubrication on the gear shaft that transfers power from the electric motor to the transmission.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the power train automatic transmission. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to an insufficient sealing of the drivetrain housing assembly there may be a lack of grease lubrication on the gear shaft that transfers power from the electric motor to the transmission.
Over time, the connection between the electric motor and the transmission may wear, possibly resulting in a sudden loss of vehicle propulsion. This could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
BMW will notify owners by telephone, and dealers will inspect the drivetrain connection and update the sealing system, free of charge.
