BMW of North America is recalling nine model year 2021 X5 sDrive40i and X5 xDrive40i vehicles.

The company stated the right front brake disc may have been assembled with incorrect fasteners, which over time, could result in the front brake disc becoming loose.

BMW noted that a loose brake disc could affect vehicle handling and control, and increase the risk of a crash.

In connection with what to do in correcting the error, the automobile manufacturer will notify affected owners, and dealers will inspect the right front brake disc and replace it, if necessary, along with the unaffected left side brake disc free of charge.

The current recall is expected to begin April 12, 2021, and owners may contact BMW’s Customer Service on (800) 525-7417.
