2010 BMW 6 Series

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.

On certain vehicles, the insulated bulkhead connector (used to join the two halves of the positive battery cable) may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly.  Over time, the bolt connection could loosen, which would increase electrical resistance.  In addition, an incorrectly insulated bulkhead connector could allow humidity to accumulate at this location, causing current leakage.  These issues could cause the cable connection to overheat, which could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, secure the insulated bulkhead connector.  In addition, protective grease will be added to the area and the plastic battery positive terminal cover will be replaced.

On certain vehicles, a check valve in the brake vacuum pump may leak a small amount of lubricating oil.  Over time, this could result in contamination of the brake booster.  Loss of brake power assist could occur which, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions, and driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster and master cylinder.  Additionally, the brake vacuum line (including the check valve) will be replaced to eliminate the possibility of oil reaching the brake booster.
