VANOS recall
Just had a call from my dealer telling me that BMW have issued a warranty recall concerning the VANOS on my F12 640i. There have been cases of internal oil leakage which affects camshaft movement. The recall is to check for leakage and, if any is found, they'll replace the unit FOC.
I'm posting this here because, AFAIK, the 535i has the same engine (N55). |

I have two cars with this engine that are affected by the recall: 2011 x5 and 2011 535i.
Two days ago I dropped of the X5 and picked it up yesterday. All sounded and worked well before, and did the same after. I have made an appt to have my 535i worked on in a couple of weeks. |

Sorry I didn't notice this was a UK regional forum, I came across this thread with a search so I replied to it.
Not sure why this would be a US only recall (would they use different bolts for engines in UK?) In any case, a call to your local BMW dealership should clear things out for you. Better safe than sorry, I guess, and all it takes is a phone call. |
