I just got a letter in the mail today saying that remedy IS available. I'm in SE PA so it may depend where you live as far as availability. Interesting though that I never got a letter saying that the EGR remedy was available, but they replaced it two weeks ago.

Same here in upstate ny 328d 2014 .
I have an appointment for next week for the check of the transfer case. Side note I had brought the beast in for the egr check recall last year. I believe it is leaking now as I have a sweet smell in the cabin and unexplained loss of coolant. When brought in the first time last year they only changed the gasket. Am I with in my rights to demand a recheck in light of the recent events? |

The recall involves replacing the flange as needed, plus a rubber giubo. If the flange had spun, then they will replace the transfer case + rubber giubo.
Unsure if flange is updated or what methods they would use to affix it better.

I replaced the flange and added a rubber giubo myself a few months ago Makes me kinda wish I'd held off and saved my money |

They can reimburse you for all that

Oh I thought you replaced a faulty part. You're correct, unless you have documentation showing it was an issue and needed to be replaced, then you could file for reimbursement.

Took my 2015 328d in for the EGR recall - they had the parts and told me while I was there that there was a remedy for the giubo. Got the new rubber giubo and a new transfer case installed (was that ever a surprise!) along with the EGR cooler recall and new NOX sensors.
It really pays to read this forum. I bought NOX sensors thinking I was over 50K miles and out of warranty. Stupid and expensive assumption. Now I have two brand new NOX sensors sitting in my garage for the next time, I guess! I hope the transfer case and giubo retrofit take care of us for the foreseeable future. Love the way this car drives and handles. |

Not quite. I took it in June 25th and it wasn't ready until July 3. I think they were able to get most of the parts, right away. But they needed to get authorization from BMW/NA, they said, to replace the transfer case. But to BMW's credit, they approved.
