UPON ARRIVING AT WORK I NOTICED A SLIGHT OIL DRIP ONTO THE REAR TIRE AND BRAKES. WHEN I RETURNED HOME THE REAR TIRE HAD OIL AROUND THE PERIMITER AND THE OIL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES SATURATING THE PADS. THE LEAKING WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT I HAD TO PUT A RAG UNDER THE TIRE TO KEEP IT OFF THE FLOOR. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED BMW DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CROWN BEARING, SEAL, BEARING ROLL, & O-RING. THIS REQUIRED 2.5 HRS OF SHOP LABOR.
All 1 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
