As such, the belt may become detached, resulting in a sudden loss of steering power assist.  A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds.  This could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the idler pulley bolt and tighten with a revised torque procedure.  A thread locking compound will be applied to the replacement bolt.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":5542,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Sur certains véhicules BMW X5 xDrive35d (diesel), le boulon du galet tendeur de la courroie du moteur pourrait se desserrer ou se briser. La courroie pourrait se détacher, ce qui entraînerait une perte soudaine de l'assistance de la direction. Un véhicule dont l'assistance de la direction cesserait de fonctionner passerait en mode direction non assistée et cela nécessiterait un plus grand effort de la part du conducteur, en particulier à basse vitesse. Cela pourrait causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le boulon du galet tendeur et le serrer en utilisant une procédure modifiée. Un mélange frein-filets devra être appliqué sur le nouveau boulon."},"vehicles":[{"year":2009,"make":"BMW","model":"X5","vehicle_id":"2009_bmw_x5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2010,"make":"BMW","model":"X5","vehicle_id":"2010_bmw_x5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2011,"make":"BMW","model":"X5","vehicle_id":"2011_bmw_x5","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2012,"make":"BMW","model":"X5","vehicle_id":"2012_bmw_x5","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":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2012396"}
