My car 2014 320D EffDyn was on 102k miles at the time & full dealer history! Get it checked & replaced! Also, make sure any communication is done via email, that way you have everything documented for evidence sake.
Good luck & kind regards

Your EGR failure isn't due to low coolant, you have low coolant BECAUSE of your EGR failure, it's been recalled and a very common problem, they are replacing everyone's with a failure.
