Why not? We do recalls on US cars all the time. |
Yeah it's absurd...
1- the dealer can't "see" my VIN for recall (I Service there all the time)
2- called the BMW Canada recall hotline, lady has little info on VIN but calls the US while I hold
3- comes back saying there's a recall for the vehicle, but I have to make a "Recall Clearance Letter", which costs 500 dollars
So, in essence, I can get the recall done, so long I pay 500 bucks.
I have yet to write to BMW Canada and NA, but this was very frustrating. Especially because BMW proves time and time again Canadians (and our lives) are less important than Americans', because we don't have recall laws |
Could you drive over the border to a US dealer and get it done for free? Good reason for a mini vacation. !!
And I bet you can join the lawsuit using a US address.
