The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles, the attachment of the brake line support bracket within the front left wheel well was not welded according to specifications. It could loosen and over time the brake hose could rub against the wheel well.
The risk
The front left brake hose could become damaged to the point where a loss of brake fluid could occur increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will re-attach the brake line support bracket to the front left wheel well free of charge. The recall began on September 20, 2005. Owners May contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
