A loss of vehicle propulsion can increase the risk of a crash.
3 safety recall campaigns, 32 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loss of vehicle propulsion can increase the risk of a crash.
Loose rear sub-frame bolts may adversely affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the slip-joint fails, there would be a loss of power to the rear axle and therefore the vehicle would stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2016 BMW M4s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
