Also BMW is recalling approximately 5,600 model-year 2018-19 BMW X3 sDrive30i, X3 xDrive30i, and X3 M40i SUVs and model-year 2019 X4 xDrive301i and X4 M40i SUVs.

The issue is related to the rear brake caliper pistons which may not have been coated properly, reducing rear brake performance. The solution is to apparently have the dealer bleed the brakes for free.

Notifications should start going out to owners on August 21st.
