1 Constant Velocity Joint problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2023

The symptom: the car misses or shutters under load. The dealership informed me that the car needs a new transfer case. The vehicle has 80k miles. This is a major drivetrain failure in my opinion for a car of this age with average miles and continually serviced by the dealership and driven by two people. Today I read about a recall for a 2014 model 328d that requires replace the constant-velocity joint and inspect the transfer case, replacing it if necessary. I suspect the same faulty part could also be the cause of my now faulty transfer case.
