On certain passenger vehicles, due to long exposures to certain environmental and operating conditions, the material structure of the front spring strut plate could be affected. In some cases, the strut plate could begin to crack, and eventually it could break. If this occurred, the plate could contact the tire.
Dealers will install a retaining clip to the underside of the front spring strut plates. The recall began May 17, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
