What happened

BMW is recalling certain 2012-2014 model year vehicles including the 320i, 328i, 528i, X1, and Z4 models. The brake vacuum pump in these vehicles may fail due to insufficient lubrication, which reduces braking power and increases the risk of a crash.

BMW will notify owners and arrange for dealers to modify the vehicles to prevent the lubrication problem at no charge. The recall began on January 31, 2014. Affected consumers should contact BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417 or email CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
