EGR Recall - 335d
My (March 14 build) car is in for something else today, but when I dropped it off I was told that the recall notice is now there and they will be replacing whatever parts are required by the notice.
I suggest others may like to check again with their dealer if they are keen to get this done soon. |

Just checked with my dealer - the recall (officially a "voluntary technical campaign") is official.
See BMW notice for models and production dates affected : https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...nical-campaign EGR cooler, and possibly the EGR itself, will be replaced. Sounds like a full software update would be required which can take more than one day in the workshop. That's going to mean that remapped cars will need the map reapplied.

It shouldn't very surprising that if they find 3 litre diesels catching fire due to a fault, that the same car in a different country has the same problem. BMW just like to ignore the problems for as long as they can until their hand is forced. Often they resolve problems in the USA first due to their litigious nature... |

Yes, I think there will be several of us in this position. The service desk was clear though - the new EGR/cooler will need to be coded-in. From experience that means BMW will do a full software update. PITA.

Mine is due in for end of warranty check next Thursday. They mentioned the EGR when I booked it in. I have a load of coding and re-map.
Can anyone confirm 100% that this EGR safety recall will require a full software re-load and that it will wipe my coding and re-map. Suppose I could call and tell them I have coding and if that would be affected. If they said yes then could I presume the map would go too. But if they say no the coding will not be affected, then could I presume that means the map too? |

Can I assume that as this affects 6 cylinder diesel cars with production dates between July 2012 and June 2015 mine, registered Sept 2015, should not be affected?
Recently had 'final check' prior to warranty expiry and no mention of this problem by the dealer. |

Should be fine. July 2012 to September 2015 are the officially stated dates.
