As mentioned several times - THIS IS NOT A RECALL.

In fact, they don't go replacing all of those things - they check, and if needed, they replace. So unless they have reason to believe your timing chain has stretched, I don't think anything will be done to your car - so don't be expecting to have your dealer tear apart your engine without reason.

Now for the real news...

The battery is now a maintenance item. Every other oil change, while your car is under warranty, they will replace the battery. This applies to the N63 and N63tu and I suspect the S63 variants as well. Apparently the running of the cooling pumps/fans after the car is off, kills the battery over time.
