Hey Teutonic, what an insane journey you've been on. I can't believe this. How could this be covered in the U.S. and not in Canada? Just blows my mind (no pun intended) simply from a safety perspective!
Thank you for sharing. I do love the X1. Bought it and am happy with it, but this creates anxiety for me knowing it may happen to my car any day.
Check this out, maybe you can recover some of the costs with this Canadian class action lawsuit:
