The billet aluminum steering knuckles/steering carriers are cracked at one of two bolt points causing a significant safety concern. This is a known manufacturer defect and bmw subsequently changed the design of the replacement part. This billet aluminum part is specific to the 2016 bmw m4 gts, a limited edition bmw m4. Approximately 800 m4 gts's were ever built and these parts are failing at all mileage values. This issue is well documented on bimmerpost.Com from several owners. Bmw will not cover the cost to replace if the vehicle is outside of the warranty, regardless of the mileage; mine has 6,500 miles. If the second bolt fails, the component will no longer be attached to the strut and cause catastrophic damage to the vehicle, personal injury and potentially death. I notified bmw and they denied the claim after 4 weeks of review without any reason.

Bmw is aware of a crack developing in a front suspension carrier (one each located on both the driver's side and passenger's side - two total). Bmw had to replace my passenger side carrier under warranty. When i took my car in for an oil change, the service technician detected a hairline crack and ordered the replacement part from germany. I did not ask for the part to be inspected; it seems that bmw has instructed its service centers to inspect vehicles for this particular failure. I asked the service center to proactively replace the driver's side carrier, too. They refused to do so. The issue with cracks developing in the front two carriers is well documented (see, for example: https://f80.Bimmerpost.Com/forums/showthread.Php?T=1550724). I have attached a copy of the service record showing replacement of my passenger side carrier. I have also attached two images showing cracks on the part from the link provided above. I believe that bmw should be required to replace the carriers on all cars given the possibility of failure and the known failure frequency.

The issue with cracks developing in the front two carriers is well documented (see, for example: https://f80.Bimmerpost.Com/forums/showthread.Php?T=1550724). I have attached a copy of the service record showing replacement of my passenger side carrier. I have also attached two images showing cracks on the part from the link provided above. I believe that bmw should be required to replace the carriers on all cars given the possibility of failure and the known failure frequency.
