Recall: 2009-2012 BMW X5 35d
BMW has issued a recall on 2009-2012 X5 35d for a power steering issue. An engine part could break and causes loss of power steering.
Vehicle Make / Model: Model Year(s): BMW / X5 SAV 2009-2012 Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC Report Receipt Date: NOV 27, 2012 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 12V550000 NHTSA Action Number: N/A Component: STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 29,800 Summary: BMW is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 X5 xDrive 35d SAV diesel vehicles manufactured September 1, 2008, through November 15, 2012. The engine belt idler pulley bolt could loosen and break over time. Consequence: If the engine belt idler pulley bolt breaks, the vehicle may unexpectedly lose power-assisted steering, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace and tighten the idler pulley bolt. The recall is expected to begin during January 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

Our bolt broke last month and it was replaced. I wonder if they I'll need to take it back (i.e., they've designed or spec'd a different bolt). I guess I'll wait to get an official notification....

Just had mine done while I took my X5d in for warped front brakes at 5500 miles.

I can't believe this. The dealership didn't tighten my belt enough that when I start my engine, the belt squeals. What sucks even more is I don't have time to take it because they are so busy. I so dislike Charleston BMW......
