I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle underneath and under hood but nothing was detected by me. Thankfully I was on a local street with grass side and not highway driving at greater speed and without location to safely park. No warning lights had flashed prior, and no warning lights came on when I restarted vehicle. I limped the vehicle a short distance to a auto repair shop for diagnosis.  It was reported to me the front drive shaft had broken out and fallen down into the skid plate.  It was given to me and I still have the shaft which is broken at the front fork with one fork missing.  I had the 2013 BMW X5 taken to the local BMW dealer and was told this vehicle is not covered by the NHTSA Recall 17V138000 for this model BMW due to my VIN being excluded.  The vehicle is 12 years old but has only 114,000 miles. I cannot understand how such a major safety component failure for a maker and model can exclude certain VIN vehicles and that major safety component actuall fail in that excluded vehicle.  At this point BMW is denying any responsibility for this issue.  I feel as if I could have been killed, and possibly killed others, if this had happened in a higher speed and higher traffic situation.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X5","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
