BMW issues 1 and 5 series diesels recall

...due to a potential fire hazard with the filter heating:

I have a 520d - what happens in these cases? Shall I call the local dealership or wait for BMW to contact me? Scary...

If your car is one of the ones affected your local BMW will contact you and tell you what to do

I heard a fan a couple of times after I turned off my car and the engine was not even hot - I restarted, turned it off and it was gone? Strange stuff.

Wouldn't be too worried about that. I've heard that noise on a few BMWs.
