DVLA threw mine up straightaway. I do hope it's really necessary

Just got on to the BMW site, and putting the V.I.N in (it doesn't recognise my reg.) it says "There are no open safety related recalls or technical enhancements on this vehicle".StuBeeDoo wrote: Thu Aug 24, 2023 9:20 pmStill can't get an answer from the BMW pages linked above, but DVLA's recall tool shows nothing outstanding for my car.

Got the X6 back. No rattles from the refitted dash. Talking to the team at the dealership, this is still part of the huge, global Takata recall. Some cars have had to be done twice (including our E46). Job actually took a full day and the car was ready just before going home time so there was no way I could get there that fast.

I said the same thing. It was only because I was at the Dealer that I knew. Given it was in the press in May, I would have expected at least something from BMW about it long before now.
