Issue
On certain M5 and M6 series vehicles, the rear driveshaft may have been inadequately welded during manufacturing. Over time, this could result in the driveshaft potentially fracturing, which would result in a loss of propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the driveshaft and, if necessary, replace it.
