There's a SIB on this... to be replaced at scheduled service I thought rather than a recall...? I haven't received a letter...

Got a call only (from the supplying dealer), this, plus seat belts and air bags..Phoned my local dealer and tried to book it in and they said, `no recalls are shown on their system`.
Me thinks I`ll try again....

Supplying dealer said seat belts could release `at any time!` and the air bags needed `re-setting?`

Here is the brake reservoir cap defect... note production dates affected.

MODEL
E70 (X5)


SITUATION
The cap for the brake fluid reservoir incorporates a fluid level switch. The switch is used to monitor the level of brake fluid in the reservoir. When the fluid falls below the minimum level, the switch triggers a warning lamp in the instrument cluster. Due to a manufacturing fault within the switch, the switch may fail to trigger the warning light.


AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves X5 vehicles which were produced from February 5th, 2007 through April 30th, 2007.

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Recall Campaign, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
The Chassis Number Ranges listed below are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor.
Model
Chassis Number Range
X5 3.0si A
L000002 – L039999
X5 3.0si A
LY78546 – LY83999
X5 4.8i A
LZ36001 – LZ40772
CORRECTION
Check the serial number listed on the label attached to the brake booster. If the serial number matches the attached list, replace the brake fluid reservoir cap.
