CV Joint recall

Did anyone else get the recall notice for the CV joints.

I did get a letter a while back and took the car in for the recall. When I went to pick up the car they said they checked it and it did not need to have anything replaced. I checked the service report and it said they checked the flex disc. Thought this was odd. I believed the recall was for the axles and not the Guibo.

I now received another letter from BMW stating that they have record that I did take the car in and they did not feel the need to replace the CV joints at that time but that now they believe they do need to replace the CV joints.

So I will be making an appt. to take it back in soon. Hopefully they actually replace the CV joints this time.

I actually put together all the parts to do the 3 series hub swap in the rear and will see if I can get them to put these parts in when they replace the joints to save myself some hassle of doing it myself. Hoping they will just add the labour costs of pressing the new hubs and bearings in.
