Flex disc/Guibo recall?

lawjai · 05-24-2017, 08:06 PM

Hi all. Just got a text message from my local bmw dealer that they want to replace my flexible disc on never receive any recall letter from bmw.

Anyone know what's this about? I got my fuel pumped recalled last month. And a driveshaft recall checkup. They didn't replace driveshift thing as it wasn't the problematic ones.

Besides... what's a flex disc/Gu

I have a 2011 535iX. My rear diff side flex disc shows a sign of some small crack lines at 60k miles. I really wish there is a recall for it. Please keep on posted.

Guibo is a rubber disc that the drive shaft mounts to the transmission so there is a very small amount of give. I didn't realize F10s had this.. maybe it's a x drive feature. My 70s Alfa Romeo has one....

Going in for mine (among other things) tomorrow. E39, E46 and E90 all have guibos - both MT and AT models.

My recall letter from BMW Canada says it's a "constant velocity joint" recall. Here on the forums I read that it's a "flex disc" recall. A flex disc is a long way from a CV joint - interesting discrepancy.

My 2012 550i has a crack in the guibo , flex disc too. Wonder if the recall extends to my model. It is crucial to change right away?

My dealer report said they inspected my vehicle and it was "RUBBER MADE FLEX DISC - NO REPLACEMENT NECESSARY". I wonder if there are several variants and a real CV was used at some point.

In all fairness, my (Canadian) recall letter did state that my vehicle would be inspected to see if it was affected by the manufacturing issue and whether it needed to be repaired.

I'm going back for the in-tank fuel pump this week.
