My understanding from reading various online recall resources is that the incorrectly made parts were received by BMW in early January and mixed with existing inventory of previously received CV joints on the assembly line. Therefore, some cars made after that date in January MAY have a bad CV joint.

If your 2011 model was made prior to the receipt of the bad CV's, you would not require an inspection or recall.
