The front and rear brake caliper pistons may corrode, possibly causing the piston to stick or drag in the caliper bore.

A sticking or dragging brake could affect braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front and rear brake calipers free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin October 4, 2019.
