Bmw recall: Suspension
Do not drive. NHTSA and the maker advise owners not to drive these vehicles until they are repaired.
What is wrong
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2020 X3 sDrive30i, X3 xDrive30i, and X3 M40i vehicles, X4 xDrive30i, and X4 M40i vehicles. The front axle swivel bearings may not have been properly heat treated during manufacturing, reducing their strength and possibly causing them to break.
What could happen
Broken swivel bearings can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

BMW has notified owners and instructed them to not drive their vehicles. Dealers will replace the front axle swivel bearings, free of charge. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
