Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the double universal joint on the steering shaft may become damaged during certain steering maneuvers. As a result, there could be a sudden change in steering feel and an increase in steering effort. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden change in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the double universal joint on the steering shaft.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
This error does not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a problem with the integrated brake system could cause reduced power brake assist. As a result, there may be reduced braking and the antilock braking system (ABS) and dynamic stability control (DSC) may not work.
