What's wrong, in plain English
The welds inside the servomotor of the integrated brake control module may break. If this happens, the vehicle can lose power assist for the brakes and lose function in the rear brakes. The antilock brake system and the dynamic stability control system may also stop working properly. To fix the problem, BMW dealers will replace the entire integrated brake system with a new one.
