In the United States please check out www.safercar.gov to get detailed information on any safety related recall information. It's the best resource and avoids rumor.

So make sure your shop does it right when you go in for the swap so you, like me, don't have to go back again. |

Isn't this the same recall we already knew about regarding botched rear diff replacements? I think they just started notifying people this week but it doesn't affect those who haven't had their rear diff replaced yet. (someone correct me if I'm wrong though)

If this recall is only for those that had the rear diffs replaced why does the recall campaign letter state model years 2015-2017 are effected? I thought the diff recall was supposedly only MY16 cars built between a small date range thus far?

It wasn't. The diff recall goes way deeper than anyone thinks, it's well over 10,000 cars affected worldwide.

Consider that around half of the 2016 M2 run was affected as well as the first part of 2017 run. That's roughly 1 year of production, and around 750-1000 M2 appear to be trickling out of the factory for each model year. The M3 and M4 were also affected, as well as regular line 5 and 6 series cars and the M5 and M6. Do you have an alternate suggestion or just skeptical and don't have a calculator ? |

Like M3Adjuster said, M2's alone were about 1,000 cars. Now, let's add M3, M4, M4 vert, plus the 5 and 6 series cars. To be REALLY conservative, let's assume only 2,500 of each of those (way off based on proportional sales, but just to make the point). 1,000 M2 + 2,500 M3 + 2,500 M4/M4 vert + 2,500 5 series + 2,500 6 series = 11,000 cars So yeah, the list is over 10,000 cars worldwide. |

Sorry if this is a duplicate but those in the US can go here to see if they are impacted by the recall . http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...eoverride=true
I have a 2016 M3 ZCP and I'm not affected . |

No this car was one of the one stuck at the port and was released telling owners about the recall
