    and 2015-2016 M4 Coupe and M4 Convertible vehicles. During servicing of the rear differential for a prior service action, the rear

    Consequence:
    Loose rear sub-frame bolts may adversely affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy:
    BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear sub-frame bolts with new bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to
    begin October 24, 2016. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

    We have received BMW's proposed owner notification letter and it is currently under review. You will be notified of any changes or
    concerns once our review is complete.
    Please be reminded of the following requirements:
    Copies of all notices, bulletins, dealer notifications, and other communications that relate to this recall, including a copy of the final
    owner notification letter and any subsequent owner follow-up notification letter(s), are required to be submitted to this office no later
    than 5 days after they are originally sent (if they are sent to more than one manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or purchaser/owner).
    Please be reminded that under 49 U.S.C. 30112(a)(3), it is illegal for a manufacturer, to sell, offer for sale, import, or introduce or
    deliver into interstate commerce, a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that contains a safety defect once the
    manufacturer has notified NHTSA about that safety defect. This prohibition does not apply once the motor vehicle or motor vehicle
    equipment has been remedied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    As stated in Part 573.7, submission of the first of six consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month after the close
    of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs. Therefore, the first quarterly report will be due on, or before, 30
    days after the close of the calendar quarter.
    Your contact for this recall will be Tariq Bond who may be reached by phone at 1-202-366-5472, or by email at [email protected]
    or through the office email at [email protected]. We look forward to working with you.
