The constant-velocity joint which transfers power between the transfer case and the rear drive shaft, may become damaged, possibly resulting in loss of power to the rear wheels.","consequence":"A loss of power to the rear wheels can affect vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.  Additionally, when the vehicle is parked after a loss of power to the rear wheels and the parking brake is not engaged, unintended rollaway can occur, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.","remedy":"BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the constant-velocity joint and inspect the transfer case, replacing it if necessary, free of charge.  The recall began May 22, 2020.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.","notes":"Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.","mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":"4617617, 8604768, 7505374, 8623346, 8612556, 8643149, 7649725, 7605629","units":8536,"completion":{"kind":"annual","report_number":3,"period_from":"2024-2","period_to":"2025-1","submitted":"2025-04-29","involved":8536,"remedied":7980,"unreachable":0,"removed":87,"remedied_percent":93,"as_of":"2026-10-19"},"do_not_drive":false,"park_outside":false,"notification":null,"french":null,"vehicles":[{"year":2013,"make":"BMW","model":"328D","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2014,"make":"BMW","model":"328D","vehicle_id":"2014_bmw_328d","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2015,"make":"BMW","model":"328D","vehicle_id":"2015_bmw_328d","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"BMW","model":"328D","vehicle_id":"2016_bmw_328d","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":[],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/nhtsa/20V185000"}
