2016 BMW M3 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 BMW M3 has two recalls, both carrying equal severity and both affecting rear drivetrain integrity in ways that can cause the driver to lose control or come to a sudden stop. A driveshaft slip-joint on certain vehicles may not have been properly greased, which can cause the joint to fail and cut power to the rear axle, leaving the car unable to move. The second recall stems from a prior service procedure on the rear differential: technicians may have reused bolts that should have been replaced, allowing the rear sub-frame to work loose over time and unpredictably affect how the car handles.
