Yikes that's pretty bad for a late model car to catch on fire under the hood.

You'd expect this from a 1970 British Leyland heap!

Wonder if RHD cars would be affected, was looking at this really sweet F11 523d, but this is giving me second thoughts.

also, will the local distro sort this out?

As of yesterday, Winger BMW says no active recall on my March 2016 production 335d Xdrive touring. Looks like it would be included in the recall in the UK...

March 2016 looks out of the date range in the Autocar article, only 1.6 million others to put right.

Starting to see a few recalls on diesels for EGR cooler issues. Not sure of relates to the fires they are talking about but if you have an F series diesel then either check with your local dealer or PM me you rego/VIN and I'll check it on Monday when I'm back at work

Yes - family got recall notice. 

How extensive is the fix do you know? Quick like the airbag or longer repair?

Got a recall letter for mine too.

 

From what I've read on overseas forums this might be a lengthy process if they do not have parts in stock.

Its check and replace if required, engine has to be cool enough so check with them how long they need the car. 90% are ok and the ones I have replaced, stock has been available ex-Auckland but will be different for each model
