L'arbre creux du servomoteur n'a pas été soudé correctement. la soudure peut ne pas être en mesure de résister à l'accumulation de pression de freinage élevée et peut se casser. dans ce cas, les performances de freinage réduites nécessitent une plus grande force et la distance de freinage peut augmenter. en outre, les systèmes de commande de frein abs et dsc ne sont pas assistés. cela augmente le risque d'accident.

Issue: On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a BMW dealer during Transport Canada recall number 2024-456 may not have been done correctly. As a result, another repair is required. 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. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, antilock brakes and stability control systems that don't work could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the integrated brake system.
