Internal NHTSA #	10419297
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	Z4
Model Year	2006
File date	13/08/11
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Same issue as described in nhtsa investigation pe 10-020 "sticky steering" occurs during periods of high ambient temperatures. The car darts and wanders. It is extremely disconcerting and requires constant attention. An increased steering effort typically occurs when the steering wheel is at the center position and thedriver attempts to make small steering adjustments. This is not a one time incident so "approximate incident date" is inappropriate. It is constant. Also not sure why the investigation you conducted lists only '03-05 when it clearly states in the investigation that bmw did not fix the problem until july 2006. My car is a 2006 with a june 2006 build date, just prior to the fix of the acknowledged problem.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
