Battery cable connector recall thread
I know their a thread that notify us all about the battery cable connector recall, but im curious if anyone has gotten a letter form BMW yet? My car fits in the description for a recall, but have not gotten a letter yet. Bmw said they would send it out March and now is. I just wanna get the cable fixed and over with.

I talked with my SA and he said late March they might get approval to start calling in customers.
Im not worried about it. Its a recall due to the possibility of a problem. While some people have experienced this issue, its still a high probability you will be ok for the next month or two. |

Nothing either. I called BMWNA & they said they are in the process of looking up the VIN #, where it makes & so on & will send out letter if your is part of it.

i didn't get a "letter" but i did get a card, says to call and make an appointment to perform the recall. with a "reference code" to the recall.
edit: pretty sure you can just call your service advisor and ask him if they can get you in for it, he'll be able to check the bulletins |

I'm affected. Had an issue that cost me $2200. My service guy called and told me that ill be getting it all back. Took the car up there today for basic paperwork.
Btw, what happened was a complete power outage. I couldn't even lock the doors. They replaced the junction box. Happened again two weeks later. Battery cable was melted to the frame. I was pretty ticked off as it happened just after the warranty expired. But I'm feeling a lil better now that I'm getting it all back. Only if the wifey didn't already know it...sigh Last edited by Temonio; 03-11-2013 at 07:35 AM.. Reason: Adding |

I did not receive any correspondence in the mail either. But, when I went in to pickup my car after a walnut blasting, the SA mentioned that my car had this recall and that I could setup an appointment to get it fixed.
