Consumer Description
The steering rack on my under 2 year old BMW iX with ~21k miles needed to be replaced. The vehicle displayed an intermittent warning about increased steering effort and to contact my service center. Upon taking it in they diagnosed it as a steering rack issue. Before taking it in, internet searches suggest many other owners of 2022 BMW iXs are having similar failures for the last several months. Steering failure could easily cause a crash and significant injury or death if it happened at the wrong time. Having the rack fail on a car this new is worrisome.
