BMW 5 Series, 3 Series: Structure
Affects BMW 5 Series, 3 Series · 2002 — about 284 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain 325I, 330I, 525I and 530I vehicles during the strut mount manufacturing process, the thrust bearing was not properly positioned and secured. If the suspension is fully unloaded, the front strut could separate from the upper mount. This could affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace both front spring strut upper mounts.
