Safety Recall...
I got a letter from BMW Canada...
Vacuum Pump Oil Supply...that needs to replaced.... They don;t have the part yet, but they will call upon all once the part is in. Year 2012-2014: 3 series, 3 series Touring, 5 Series, X1, X3, & Z4. (almost all models!!!) My guess is that it also applies to the US models as they are built in the same location. |

This was announced 8-10 weeks ago guys on many websites and newspapers. They said then that the letter wouldn't come out until November and they had to build parts.

Darn man, if I get that too, that will be my third recall, not to mention two done before I took delivery.
For a vehicle that was running in Europe for some time is quite embarassing... I hate to go to the dealership... |

I stand corrected! I believe I bought my car late in September, and accordng to the original thread, they started the campaign around the same time. It seems my car shouldn't have been sold to me and my wife then according to what BMW told it's dealer network. Luckily, neither of us have expereinced the failure, but she drives the car 99% of the time and can be a little "anxious" driving in NYC traffic. I stand by some of my original statements, BMW needs to stop sending useless letters telling owners they are sending out another letter later on and get to the fix PRONTO. Here's to no more failures to you or anyone else on the forum until BMW gets the fix out there.

Just checked with my dealership, doesn't apply to my X1 35i built in Leipzig. Just FYI. Thanks to the OP for the info on the recall.

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/30/f...er-engine-fir/ I have experienced the loss of power assist first-hand, and I can assure you there is a very real safety risk with this issue. At least with a fire risk you would have some warning. |

I was just in the dealer on Wednesday and had them check for any outstanding campaigns (recalls) on my 35i and there was none listed.

Thanks, but the post was more an affirmation that currently the 35is are not showing ANY campaigns. At least as of the 27th of Nov.
