2010 BMW X5 SAV Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 BMW X5 has two recalls, both tied to the potential loss of a critical driver-assist system while driving, raising the risk of a crash. On 8-cylinder models, the brake vacuum pump can leak oil into the brake booster hose, reducing or eliminating power-assisted braking and significantly increasing stopping distance. On diesel xDrive 35d models, a bolt securing the engine belt idler pulley can loosen and break over time, causing the power steering to cut out unexpectedly and making the wheel much harder to turn.
