Description of the problem	Today i experienced a steering problem with my 2006 bmw z-4. The outside temp was approx 86 degrees. I noticed the steering (which is electronically controlled) became very heavy and it became difficult to maintain the vehicle in the lane. Twice the vehicle jutted to the right causing me to ride on the edge of the road (hitting the grinders) - it took both hands and a tight grip to maintain center. I first noticed this problem last summer - steering is normal at cooler temps but today it was hot outside and the problem recurred. I took my vehicle to the dealer last summer and they found no fault codes, but this is a definite problem and bmw is very aware of it.

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.
