Michael. 2313 Report post Posted August 27, 2018 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! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted August 27, 2018 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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...

Gaz 1061 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted March 11, 2019 Yes - family got recall notice. How extensive is the fix do you know? Quick like the airbag or longer repair? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sobanoodle 45 Report post Posted March 11, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
