2015 BMW M5; 2015 BMW M6
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW is recalling certain 2015 M5 sedans, M6 coupes, M6 convertibles, and M6 Gran Coupes manufactured between September and December 2014. These vehicles have driveshafts that may have been inadequately welded during manufacturing. If a driveshaft fractures due to this improper weld, the car could lose drive to the rear wheels and propulsion, increasing crash risk. Additionally, if the vehicle is turned off and the driver exits without applying the parking brake, the car may roll.
BMW will notify owners of the recall, which was expected to begin in September 2016. Dealers will inspect and replace the driveshaft at no charge if necessary. Owners of affected vehicles should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
