The problem
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2010 x5 and x6 sport activity vehicles manufactured between december 14, 2009 and december 16, 2009. In the upper right area of the windshield, bonding may be insufficient over a length of approximately 50cm.
The risk
In the case of a rollover, the stability of the roof could be affected increasing the risk of injuries.
The fix
Bmw will notify owners and authorized dealers will remove the windshield and then reinstall with the proper bonding free of charge. The safety recall began on march 30, 2010. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.
