Critical Safety Recall G29’s
So,
Has anyone heard from BMW RE; a critical safety recall!? I understand it affects the track rod ends of some sort. Over on another forums there’s a few cars affected, mostly the M40i it seems and one member has posted Quote:

Rumours say there are no parts in the UK for this as yet and being a critical safety recall BMW will not return your vehicle to you if you drop it in for investigation/repair even if they don’t have the parts available. Check yours out (UK Users can enter registration on this page https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/footer/quic...e-recalls.html I don’t know anymore, MY, model etc. as yet but would be interested if anyone has heard or knows more

So speaking to a very helpful guy, Lewis, from a local dealership he hadn’t heard of any recall so was interested to hear the QE code and then when found it is on their system as a recall as of the 26th June
He read to me what it said; Quote:

BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective June 9, 2020) on certain Model Year 2019 -2020 BMW vehicles that were produced between October 30, 2018 and July 5, 2019. If your Z4 wasn't produced during that time, the recall does not affect you.

I f you read the NHTSA pdf it says 1050 Z4 30i cars recalled. Manufactured between NOV 05, 2018 - FEB 26, 2019.
My 30i was built in March '19 and no recall showing. This is the dates for US cars only I would assume. |

So the Z4 manufactured cars for the US are different from the ones sold in Europe ?
Thats something I read somewhere. Or Since the link provided in previous post is from the UK. Maybe the UK recalls updates are not linked to the US NHTSA recalls. Happened to me before with American cars that I owned in Europe, NHTSA recalls in the US that nobody at the dealers here knew about.

My M40i is on the recall list as well. Built in March 2019.
Update: After checking with the dealer today (July 6th) it seems that my car is not affected after all. Z4 G29 cars built during the period 5 Nov 2018 and 26 Feb 2019 are affected. My car was built early March 2019. Last edited by Jim S; 07-06-2020 at 12:30 PM.. |

I had mine replaced yesterday, as part of a minor service. 2019 2.0
I would like to tell you how much it affected the drive handling but the car won't work at all now (see Gremlins thread) |
