You wouldn't have because the actual recall isn't out yet. They don't have parts yet so they can't do the recall. I don't know why people don't get this.

No we don't get why I/we have a letter(or yet gotten) stating recall notice but BMW says I don't have a recall according to the recall link. We dont have a recall but we do and when all the parts are ready we then have a recall. BMW told us we have a recall and standby for action. When BMW told you they will recall your car... their fingers crossed when they said it so it doesn't count? Look my letter states in clear language my car has a recall and I'll be contacted when the parts are in. Not the other way around when the part gets here we'll recall. I'm sticking up for us dummies here please forgive my arrogance. |

I'm not arguing with whether or not there is a recall. I'm saying they don't have parts so they are not yet performing the recall. People keep going to their dealer asking them to do a recall that can't yet be done.

Hmm, now when I type in my VIN at the BMWUSA site for recalls, I get this message:
Recall information is not available at this time. Please try again later, or contact BMW Customer Relations and Services at 1-800-831-1117. And I got the same message yesterday as well... Something getting updated maybe?

BMW seems to be handling this on an ad hoc level. Recently a BMW rep confirmed to me that no formal recall had been issued yet, and he didn't know when it would be. Website updating is not the issue. |

How can that be when I'm looking at a letter dated June 2014 that says "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL, Recall Campaign no. 14V-176: VANOS Assembly Bolts"?

Thanks for posting that.
My car was built in April/May 2012, so I'm well outside of the January 2010-August 2011 manufacture dates. Whew.

But there still is no official recall, either on the NHTSA website or the BMW website. Yes, this is bizarre. From the April NHTSA letter: "BMW expects to begin dealer notification in April 2014 and complete dealer notification in May 2014. BMW expects to begin owner notification in May 2014 and complete owner notification in June 2014." Yeah, right. Last edited by 128Convertibleguy; 07-16-2014 at 12:42 AM.. |

As I said before, I got an official recall letter from BMWNA and I believe it over what some guy on a forum says. I talked to my service advisor at my dealer last week and he said "yes, there is an official recall and we're just waiting on the parts."
