Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The upper threaded portion of the shaft of the front suspension ball joint broke off, which is the connection point from the leading link to the front fork bridge, an integral part of Bmw's telelever front suspension. Loss of this connection point allows the front forks to move front to rear causing dangerous loss of steering control. Normal operation of the telelever suspension exerts forces which are longitudinal along the ball joint shaft. The ball joint shaft is not subject to sideways shear force, so the shaft should not have broken under normal wear and tear under any circumstances. …”
