Recall Alert: 2009 BMW X5 and X6

BMW has issued a recall for all 2009 BMW X5 and X6 vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The vehicles are being recalled because the rear brake discs may not have been manufactured according to correct specifications. This could lead to reduced braking performance in the rear wheels, significantly increasing stopping distance and increasing the potential for a crash.

BMW hasn’t provided NHTSA with its remedy or notification schedule for the repair, but owners may contact BMW at 800-831-1117. They may also contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236.

"significantly reducing stopping distance and increasing the potential for a crash."

I'll assume that this should be increasing stopping distance...

yes it should thanks Doug

That's what you get for driving such ugly junk. For the X6 that is. The X5 is pretty decent looking.

Has anyone else experienced spontaneous shattering of their sunroof on a BMW, SUV 2006 ?

My moonroof exploded today. Fortunately, I had closed the divider minutes before we heard a very explosive sound on the roof. The front half of the glassroof was completely shattered. My BMW X5 is only one month old.

Yes, on my way to work today. I was driving down the highway about 55 -60 mph. Loud boom sound and then my sunroof shattered.
