BMW is recalling certain 2012 X5 X-Drive 35D diesel Sports Activity Vehicles (SAV) for a problem that could lead to loss of power steering assistance. The problem is being blamed on a manufacturing error at the supplier which could lead to the welds on the belt tensioner developing small cracks, eventually leading to complete failure of the belt tensioner. Owners wanting more information about the recall can contact BMW’s customer relations and services at 1-800-525-7417, or email customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
