BMW CONCORD explains the brake booster vacuum supply line recall.

BMW Concord explains the BMW brake booster recall

Let BMW Concord, located in the East Bay, explain the brake recall “booster vacuum supply line” effecting the 5 series, 6 series and 7 series supported by BMW of North America, Inc.
This recall covers many of our V8 models and V12 up to November 2009 production 5 series, 6 series and 7 series.

Under some conditions the vacuum booster can get engine oil in it. Oil does NOT get in the brake hydraulic system, but this can cause a hard brake pedal over time causing more force by the customer to stop the car. The brake system will work even without assist from the booster.
The new vacuum line has a valve in it that stops any oil vapors; this will stop the slow buildup of oil in the brake booster.

The problem causing the campaign is that engine oil enters the brake booster vacuum supply line via the brake vacuum pump and contaminates the brake booster, which can damage a membrane contained in there. This can cause the power assist to the brakes to not work, and the vehicle may be hard to stop.

Please contact BMW Concord at 925-682-3577 to see if this recall apply’s to your car. We can assist you in making an appointment or make an appointment on line at BMWConcord.com

    Stepping on the brake pedal should not need to spend big power. With a bit of pressure just enough to make the brake pedal depressed and the vehicle speed control.

    A typical master cylinder is made up of two pistons, located inside a bore in the housing, and a fluid reservoir. Each piston has primary cup seal and a secondary cup seal, and a return spring.
