What's wrong, in plain English
Certain BMW models with an integrated brake system may have the system malfunction. This can cause a loss of power assist for the brakes, meaning it takes more pedal effort and distance to stop the vehicle. The malfunction can also stop the Antilock Brake System and Dynamic Stability Control from working properly, which can affect the driver's ability to keep control of the vehicle.
What you should do
2. Contact a BMW dealer at 1-800-525-7417 to schedule service; a follow-up letter will be sent once parts are available.
3. The integrated brake module will be replaced free of charge.
