BMW X3: Programming Control Units (steering Gear)
BMW is recalling 5,313 X3 vehicles because the steering gear software may not always correctly detect when a sensor fails. If a sensor failure occurs and is detected, the driver will receive a warning message and may notice a slight change in steering feel. BMW will reprogram the vehicle's control units at no cost to fix this issue.

- Product
- Vehicles: BMW X3. Units affected: 5,313
- Reason
- A quality check has revealed a potential issue with the steering gear software program which monitors the function of two sensors and compares the signals. In the vehicles concerned due to an error in the software the failure of a sensor may not always be detected correctly. When a failure has been detected correctly the driver is notified of it by a Check Control message on the Central Display and minimal change to steering feel. Remedy: To ensure your vehicle is in perfect working order we would like to program the vehicles control units. This work will be free of charge.
