The vibration is consistently reproducible under these conditions and is felt through the vehicle during the turn. The vehicle otherwise drives normally at higher speeds.  After researching the issue, I found that many other owners have reported substantially similar symptoms involving the transfer case on BMW xDrive vehicles. My independent BMW repair shop has recommended a transfer case fluid service as the first corrective action based on the known nature of this problem. I am having that service performed and will retain all repair documentation.  I am submitting this complaint because this appears to be a recurring issue affecting multiple vehicles. If the condition worsens, it could lead to drivetrain binding during low-speed maneuvers and may affect safe vehicle operation. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this is a broader defect requiring manufacturer action.  I will update this complaint if the repair does not resolve the condition or if additional diagnosis identifies an internal transfer case failure.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X5","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
