Safety Recall....BMW Canada

Shaw · 11-28-2013, 07:41 AM

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.

I believe that is the recall that is related to the brakes and applies to those with 28i's and not 35i's.

Yeah, I have the xDrive35i and I did not get the recall letter from BMW Canada.

Tomlomcom · 11-30-2013, 03:59 PM

I have the x28i built feb-13 and rang up BMW Australia and after checking the VIN they said my car is not on the list ... wonder how they distinguish within the batch ...

scrap the previous threat letter is received from BMW Australia ..recall commenced 26/11..

I have a 2013 28 xdrive and haven't received the notice yet, but my mom has a 2013 328i xdrive and she got her notice back in November.

jjax3 · 12-22-2013, 02:42 PM

I ended up calling when I first heard of this, just to make sure I wasn't a part of it since I have a 28i from that range. Turns out my info was wrong in the system anyway so it was good I called.

Has anybody received the updated parts yet?

I'm still waiting; dealers in Ottawa have no info on when they will get the parts/procedures.

I thought we are to wait for a second letter...I believe the initial one was generic...

pokerface · 01-21-2014, 10:23 AM

Transport Canada noted that BMW notified them the parts have been obtained in the last while .. so the notifications should be going out in the next two weeks...

Recall letter just came in. When your letter arrives call your dealer for appointment.

Ziba · 01-29-2014, 04:29 PM

2011's are not part of the recall.

O,thanks 02420X3

pokerface · 02-11-2014, 09:34 PM

so I just had mine done on Monday this week.

They just installed the camshaft spacer - no replacement.

It was logged under bulletin 11 81 14RC 0011220300.

Part number was 11-31-8-632-503. The whole process took roughly 2.5 hours including oil change.
