30i Engine replace recall
Has anyone else gotten the 30i engine replacement recall. Mine goes in on next Wednesday for a complete engine replace. Just curious how widespread this is.

I would have thought all of them would have been done already, original recall went out in December '19. Out of curiosity when was yours built, maybe they added more cars recently.

What was the issue?
Found it: The main issue that was discovered is that, due to a faulty bearing for the balance shaft, the engine could suffer from a lack of construction robustness for the respective part and thus could possibly lead to physical attrition of the component as well as further engine damage. Consequently, the bearing wear might also put the vehicle safety and integrity at risk, as the powerplant could detach while driving. |

Here is the actual recall. I thought most cars should have been done already, mine was built 3/19 but I recently bought it new. It should have been done before the car was sold since the recall had a stop order. Looks like 217 cars in the US, G20 and G29 series.

Guess mine slipped through the cracks. I've put just over 6000 miles on it since June. No issues. Better safe than sorry

I thought mine was OK, I read about the recall before buying, but maybe not. |

I rejected a Honda CRV that they wanted to swap the engine on. It was on PCP and the rejection was accepted immediately with a brand new replacement car. I didn’t want something that was fitted to factory specifications and tolerances be worked on in the dealers workshop.
