## What is wrong

On certain M\-series vehicles that had the rear differential replaced during servicing, one\-time use bolts holding rear sub\-frame may have been inadvertently reused due to missing information in the repair instructions. This could cause the bolts to become loose as they would not achieve sufficient clamping force. A loose sub\-frame could affect vehicle handling and stability which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will replace the rear sub\-frame bolts.
