Did mine today. It took<10 minutes. As has been noted here on the forum, it appears that this recall really hasn't hit the U.S. yet. As such, I suggest you do what I did if you plan to get ahead of it/get it done now. Schedule it, and order the parts yourself from the parts dept. They agreed that had I not thought to check on the little heat blankets, then order them, the parts would not have been on hand when I brought it in; they don't keep these things in stock...yet. They told me I was the second one that they had done...on customer request. (I'm thinking the real story might be that I'm the first...) They haven't been doing them as part of a U.S. recall yet.
That is all. |

My car was at BMW of Austin last week; my service guy mentioned the recall, but then said the campaign hadn't officially started yet. Hope I don't have a leak!

All done as of this morning. Quick job and the work looks exactly like the image in the recall PDF.

owned my m5 for more than a year now... no problems with my lines. its completely dry...
I guess I will do the fix next time I go in for service... no point taking the car in just to do a small job like this.

Got this done today. One dealership refused to do it and the other did it with no questions asked.

Mine has an original build date of 8/2012. I looked at my lines last week. They were dry as a bone as well.

Yeah it's just a safety precaution on their end. Really the downpipes and coolant lines have nothing to do with each other.

Hey!
Hope it's okay to use this thread again, I have changed these coolant lines by myself. I need to know how much coolant I will pour afterwards when I changed them, I also need to know if i need to "bleed" the system after these? Thanks for help! |

Fill the resevior up until you see fluid, leave the cap off and start the car run for ~5mins, top-up and refit the cap. Drive for ~10-15mins at moderate speed, leave to cool for an hour and carefully remove cap SLOWlY - stop turning the cap if any hissing, leave for a minute then turn slow agian- repeat until cap off safely, top up. You should be good to go.
Check and repeat after a couple of hundered miles or if the low coolant warning comes on. |

It's not a RECALL it's a TSB. BMW is not obligated to fix unless you are under factory or CPO warranty.

So I have a bit of a different issue. About 40k miles/2 years 7 months ago, the dealership fitted these wraps to my coolant lines.
Fast forward to today, and now I have a leak at the lines. My car is under CPO warranty, yet they are saying there is a rubber piece in there that is a "wear/tear" item therefore they will not cover it... Any ideas guys? |
