X1 and several other BMW vehicles now part of timing chain Class Action Suit

Hey everyone, just thought I'd post this as I got the info in the mail yesterday. We're all (I think) aware here of the occasional occurance of the timing chain failing on certain models, causing catastrophic engine failure. There are several posts here from unfortunate owners who had this happen and essentially had to trash the vehicle or pay some astronomical fee to have the motor replaced. It's not something I worry about a lot on my wife's 2015 X1, but the thought is of course there to some degree.

Anyway maybe there's threads about this on otherparts of the forum, don't know because I don't frequent those. But you can Google for info the on the suit, and how it might affect you as a 2012-2015 X1 owner. Good luck to all of us!
