BMW Recall

[Meinx5]

Has anybody been contacted to bring your vehicle in for the recall to fix a bolt? I'm worry that mine might stall driving on the highway.

Contacted? I imagine most had it done long time ago.

MeinX5: nope not yet, even when I put my VIN number in it's not showing as a recall yet.

Price: Didn't this recal just come out last month, something like 4/10/2014??

If we're talking about the drive belt pulley bolt recall on diesels, it's from Nov 2012.

No, it's the bolts that hold the camshaft together. Here is the link from the news.

BMW says another 170,000 vehicles from 2010 through 2012 with inline six-cylinder engines will not be recalled, but will receive an extended warranty due to the problem.

So... "we'll fix it after you stall at 70mph in the left lane of a major highway."

Wait, there's more than one bolt in our cars??...

Had this break on me before the "recall" - dealership quoted me just over $15 000 to fix it. They wouldn't cover it under goodwill. I hope my vin pops up under that recall list soon so I can get it looked at.
