What's wrong, in plain English
BMW is recalling certain 228i, 228i xDrive, and MINI Countryman S ALL4 vehicles because the bolts that connect the front body structure to the vehicle's chassis may not have been tightened properly. If these bolts are not tight enough, the connection between the front body structure and the chassis may be looser than it is supposed to be, rather than fully secure as intended for these vehicles' front structure.
What you should do
2. Contact a BMW dealer, or call BMW Customer Service at 1-800-525-7417, to have the front structure bolts inspected.
3. Dealers will tighten the bolts if needed, free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
