Vehicle safety recall letter

Post by TONYMOR » Wed May 24, 2017 12:35 pm

I received a letter from BMW group uk yesterday referring to a recall related to the battery positive line terminal.
Seemingly it's the connection to the front fuse box . Symptoms of the fault can be electrical systems on the car intermittently failing including door entry. I've had a few times when dash lights have flickered so I've booked mine in .
Anyone else had a letter?

I've had nothing. The car was in for a service last week and no mention of it either. What year is your car?

Mines in for recall Tuesday June 6 so I'll post up what my experience is and also to see if it affects the intermittent roof opening/ closing problem.
