That's the same kind of detail I've been able to find. I was hoping to find out what they are actually checking for. I got an email about this issue from my dealer calling it a recall but no letter from BMW nor can I find any recall info on the NHTSA or Canadian equivalent sites.

The U-joint on the driveshaft tends to be a weak spot. Once it shatters, it send shrapnel everywhere and causes a lot of damage under the car.

Any more info on this? I'm still waiting to see when my vehicle shows up for the Vanos bolt issue as well. Not showing any recalls as of yet and I just checked my VIN.
As far as the driveshaft, does anyone know of the actual problem, U-Joint being the weak part, well yea, but are they just R&R any vehicles that are subject to the recall or is there a spec and/or tollerance limit they are checking. I already have a 2011 V6 Mustang Convertable I got the wife that has a silly spped limiter on it just for the driveshaff limitations of RPM's. but going above 125 isn't a daily occurance so I havent done anything about it,,, yet..

I was at the dealer this past weekend to see if they would still honor my quoted Bimmerfest EVP price and when they checked my key, the driveshaft recall popped up. I have it scheduled for 6/14. I hope to get some better details then.

Originally all the reports of failures we were reading were V8 gas motors... apparently BMW decided to look at all of them I guess. |
