NHTSA Complaint #11183568 — 2013 BMW 328XI

**PRESS BMW TO ISSUE RECALL** 2013 BMW 328I - XDRIVE HAS FAULTY TURBO ACTUATOR DESIGN. BMW CORRECTED THE DESIGN OF TURBO ACTUATOR ARM IN SUBSEQUENT MODELS. BMW REALIZED IT WAS THEIR DESIGN MISTAKE. TURBO ACT ARM BREAKS VERY EASILY. LOT OF CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SPEND A FORTUNE (>$3000) TO FIX THIS ISSUE. 2013 WAS THE LAUNCH MODEL FOR THIS GENERATION. BMW HAS CORRECTED THE DESIGN OF ARM IN 2014 ONWARDS MODEL. TURBO IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART ON THESE LUXURY CARS. 2013 MODEL OWNERS WERE LEFT TO FIX IT ON THEIR OWN EXPENSE, EVEN AFTER THEY REALIZED THEIR DESIGN WAS FAULTY. ARMS HAVE BROKEN IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS (LESS THAN 40K MILES). BMW SHOULD BE PRESSED TO ACCEPT FAULT AND PAY BACK CUSTOMERS WHO WERE MADE TO PAY THEMSELVES. AN INQUIRY SHOULD ALSO BE REQUESTED FOR HOW MANY CARS DID BMW FIX FOR THE SAME ISSUE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY. BMW BLOGS ARE FULL OF SAME ACTUATOR ARM ISSUE. I WORK IN AUTOMOTIVE FIELD IN DETROIT. SIMILAR ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AGAINST OTHER BRANDS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. I KNOW MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE WHO FACED THE SAME ISSUE, WHICH PUSHED ME TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. THANK YOU! GOD BLESS!
