Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2015-2016 M3 Sedan, 2016 M4 Coupe, and 2015-2016 M4 Convertible vehicles manufactured between May and September 2015. These vehicles have a driveshaft with a slip-joint that may not have been properly filled with grease, which could cause the slip-joint to fail over time. If the slip-joint fails, power to the rear axle would be lost and the vehicle would stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the driveshaft and replace it as necessary at no cost to the owner. The recall began on January 14, 2016. Affected consumers should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
