Recall notice: retrofit heat protection mat to coolant lines

mvrwdakingtm · 11-04-2014, 12:59 AM

The coolant pressure was too much for the ordinary factory clamp to hold on.

RichDM5 · 11-04-2014, 03:39 AM

Booked in for 2 weeks time.
Told it was not a recall as not a safety issue so they would have done it next time I was in.

Mine is with the dealer now having this fixed.

I'm pulling off my engine cover to determine if just one or both of the TSB (recalls) need to be completed. My VIN says I need the "temperature mats" installed-at a minimum... Man I hate taking it to the dealer... I do have my own tech that I use, so I'll need to schedule it when he can do it. It is Hell being OCPD...

JUPJAI · 11-06-2014, 04:10 AM

Mine was done yesterday. I did not have a leak.

GarbageMan · 11-06-2014, 09:04 AM

I apologize for the following mini-rant:

I go to the dealer here in Houston yesterday, recall document in my hand, to schedule this remedy/repair. I have a dedicated tech that I use if I must have work done at the dealer. I get it scheduled for next Thursday morning @ 7a.m. I told them I plan to wait, as this is less than a 30 minute repair. As I'm driving to work it dawns on me to insure that they have the little "insulation blankets" in stock. I call the parts department, and they say that they do not carry these in inventory (after looking up the part number I furnished). I had them order the blankets right then. Had I not ordered these little insulation blankets, what would have happened next Thursday? My bet is that the tech would take the car back, look at the parts required, realize they don't have them, then the service advisor would come tell me that they need to order the parts and they need to keep the car OR I could take my car and reschedule when the parts are in stock. Anyone want to challenge this assumption? My contention is that I should not have had to do what I did to check the parts inventory, but know how this kind of thing works... What happens when the average "golfer guy" goes in and says I have a recall letter? What happens is everything I just detailed, yet they don't have the part ready... Just sayin'...

It appears this HAS NOT hit the USA market yet.

You may have not received anything in the mail (like me), but call the dealer with your VIN... They will have it if yours needs it...

I just bought mine used a few weeks ago. No letter. But when I called two dealerships about getting this done they both pulled it up, but it was in german and they cant order the parts yet.

Grayblack · 11-06-2014, 09:27 PM

My car was at the dealer earlier this week. The recall came up, but they didn't have the parts available. Unfortunately I'll have to make another trip back there.

Jaragator · 11-06-2014, 09:57 PM

MY 2013. Called dealer and they confirmed issue. I asked if they had the necessary parts - still waiting for return call from dealership to see If they have the parts.

johntomferg · 11-07-2014, 03:38 AM

Was at dealership yesterday for typical service appointment (rear pads, brake fluid replacement, oil, etc) and this was on the worksheet. I was advised when I picked up the car that the "campaign had not started yet" but they would let me know as soon as they could do it. I'm not sure if that is the parts campaign or the work campaign and didn't ask since there was good information on this site about the relatively minor issue.

Seems to be a lot of inconsistent experience on this one.

To GarbageMan: I've had that experience but mine was with spark plugs for the M5.

The PDF attached by the OP was in English... I took it with me to "school" my dealer...

I'm glad I did my homework on the parts to get this out of my hair. Roll Tide!

Just to clarify, when I was first notified by the dealer about this I asked for more detail, and they said system pull up everything was in German too, but then they were able to sent me the English pdf.

But you are UK. The issue is the US dealers can't seem to order the parts to do the repair.

saflang · 11-07-2014, 10:26 PM

Any Canadians received a recall? I was in just one week ago to get my oil change, no notice was given to me. MY2013.

I wonder if the factory solution has a cleaner look, or will it look the same as retrofit.
