That bmw dealer, nashua nh then called us to say it would be $4,500. 00 to fix. Unsafe to drive, it lost power by 70% or greater-my wife, and i have been nearly _rear ended when this occured at higway sppeds-and slower local speeds ie 65mph or 30 mph limits..... We had to stop driving for life safety. 1. How did bmw get away with not including the other yrs with same engine safety issues(ours 2008) and why did a bmw serv.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
