BMW 1 SERIES ( 04/03/2006 – 14/03/2006) DEFECT: A temporary fault in the greasing system on the brake servo sealing ring could lead to the sealing ring being subject to wear. In unfavourable conditions the seal may be pressed into the brake servo housing as a consequence of increased friction. The arising leak will cause a hissing sound audible within the vehicle interior with the additional consequence that there may be a risk that loss of brake assistance will ensue.

Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the brake servo replaced.
