Description of the problem	Rear spring broke! Could not believe that a spring could brake. I looked up on the internet to see if anyone else had a similar problem and was amazed that the internet is full of complaints. A broken spring causes handling problems and can cause the car to go out of control causing an accident. It is obvious that bmw knows of the issue and the faulty design. I cannot believe that a car company that charges so much for a car would not own up too such a large problem and recall all of the affected cars. Please help us.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
