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 |

There's another member here with a similar problem. His car was originally purchased in Germany and was shipped here to the US where he purchased it and last I heard he's having difficulty getting his VIN registered with BMWNA so he can't get the recall done either.

And when they eventually do replace it they are putting in the exact same part. Can I make my next recall appointment for 6 years from now?

And I think my car was done a few months ago. I have to double check as my car was in at the dealership for other work not primarily for the air bag. |

I assume it's the same part, and you'll have to ask him if it was recalled in Germany but I doubt it.

So the dealer was actually better than BMW Canada. Unfortunate for BMW. |

I eventually got a check from the settlement. So a new airbag replaced and a check for $280 if I recall...
