BMW 3 Series Recall

[mattCSLnut]

Spoke to my local dealer regarding my Cecil - the CSL is not on the list

Same here. I asked Emma @ Elms when my Cecil was in for it's Service few months ago.
She checked online and gave it the all clear, as in no passenger air bag recall necessary on my car.

That's strange as they seem to be changing them free of charge here in Switzerland.

It does seem very odd Alex... :smt017 Usually the CH BMW Stealers give nothing away for free

[Brandtner]

That is rather odd. When I spoke to my dealer here in Western Australia they said nothing was outstanding for it - in the mean time things could have changed..

Should we not be sent reminders first :whistle:

The Dealers were probably sent the information, get it booked in Craig, if only for the Passenger AirBag. Keep Mondial sweet if you have a warranty! :supz:

Car has warranty, but needs new front hub after last track event, so car stuck at home until I get it done by Adem, fitting new hub, and converting to studs and nuts for track use.

Me too dude i got a letter for my 02 320i but booked my csl instead.emma checked and said there was no recall for my csl but there was for my 320i!!
Mines all clear

Strange reply from Emma, as the recall is on all E46 3 series cars, fitted with a passenger airbag.
Exclusivity doesn't exclude the CSL from being part of the E46 3 Series family, mine's sorted.

Received nothing. BMW responsibility to inform - they have my address.

Fail to see how a warranty can be invalidated due to something I'm unaware of.

Well I asked BMW Ireland and they confirmed the car is included, so it's all booked in. If they're prepared to replace something for free while I ogle the receptionist and nick all their biccies then happy days!

Just hope they don't try to replace the ones in the doors

Out of interest mate, what are the build & registration dates of your Cecil ?

Hey Matt, build date was 29.08.2003, don't have the registration date to hand just now, but it was some time in mid-Nov '03

[erdingtonjohn]

Just spoke to Sytner. Was informed there was one outstanding recall regarding the passenger airbag. It's now booked in for the day next week.

Mine went into Eastern BMW in Edinburgh today for work to fix the slight bubbling under the plastic striker plate covers on the B posts - being done under bodywork warranty. I asked them in advance about the recall & they said yes, so that's being done at the same time. Not sure if they would have done this if I hadn't mentioned though.

Would have got them to do a brake fluid change & change the 2 DSC pressure sensors (me supplying them - bought through Cotswold BMW dealer as a fair bit cheaper) but they wanted an additional £174.52 to change the sensors on top of the £87.26 for the fluid change (me supplying the brake fluid too). I don't think so - I'll get this work done elsewhere.

THANX for your info Jeff... my Cecil's build date was 15.07.2003 and UK road registered on 01.09.2003.
I wonder why some CSLs get the recall but not the others :smt017
