Canadian Recall

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Has anyone else heard of a recall of Canadian G01 X3's?
according to Transport Canada:

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 101 – Location and Identification of Controls and Displays. Due to a software error, the instrument cluster may not turn on when the vehicle is started. This could disable various control telltales and warning symbols, thereby failing to meet the requirements of the standard. This could also result in the driver not being aware of malfunctions, which could affect vehicle performance and increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle software.

Could this be part of the shipping delay for week 45 production?

I agree, I checked for recalls and there is none for the US. Oddly this also applies to the X2, which has not been released yet.

In any event they seem to feel that it is fixed through a software patch, but some of those are actually a flash of the firmware and can take several hours.

Tomorrow I will check with my dealer to see what they know.

Maybe it only affected very early builds, like review cars. Or December builds that aren’t even released to public yet, like the ones getting the lane change updates. That would be kind of weird for them to know about it already, but something is up if this site is claiming recall and BMWs systems don’t even detect one on actual released G01s. It’s not like there are that many variations out there

I’m now in 182 Scheduled for Carrier, so my guess is that we’ll start to see movement northbound. Whatever the issue is, my guess is that it’s fixed, or there is a fix that will be ready once it hits the dealer. Would that be a possibility?

Checked my VIN just to see. No recalls. Week 45 build and fully loaded. Not sure what the software differences are between the 2 markets.

I was under the impression that the lane change updates are software only and can be updated to earlier builds. I guess we will have to wait and see. A software update could essentially be downloaded to customers.

Does anyone know if 7-Series or 5-Series vehicles received OTA software upgrades to any of these systems? That would be interesting, and one can hope!
