What the hazard is

If the defect occurs, it is then only possible to slow the vehicle with an increased level of brake pedal pressure. This may pose a hazard to the driver and to other road users.

What to do

Consumers should contact an authorised BMW motor vehicle service centre, or call the BMW Group Australia Customer Interaction Centre on freecall: 1 800 813 299.

Defect

Engine oil which has entered the brake booster may damage the internal rubber membrane. The membrane may develop a leak and this will impair the brake power assistance system.
