Approximately 220 model-year 2019-20 BMW 330i sedans and model-year 2019 Z4 coupes are being recalled due to engine issues. The needle roller bearings of the counterbalance shafts may have been improperly installed, potentially causing the counterbalance shaft to loosen and cause severe engine damage, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will begin notifying owners Dec. 6. Owners can call the automaker at 800-525-7417 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will replace the engine.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
