Parts are managed such that the manufacturer can ID when each part from a batch went into a vehicle. Quote:
here is an example of a recall on a popular ice cream company in the South. https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls/ucm522045.htm unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers aren't quite as forthcoming as say... food or drug manufacturers.. with respect to how the defect occurred.. More than likely the issue is with a defective series of parts more so than an installation error, although I am sure the latter is also possible Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 11-01-2018 at 07:09 PM.. |

Condolences to those affected. I am sure BMW will do a good job on this fix.

Checked my VIN and got "0 Recalls for your vehicle". Dodged that one!

I was right after you, took delivery of my M4 ZCP DCT in MD in May16 and also not affected by recall. However, my M4 GTS is. I wonder if all GTSs. Mine has less than 500 miles on it, I can't imagine BMW would replace with a non CFRP drive shaft on a GTS. Probably won't know until next late Spring because it's stored for cold weather.

Guys, a quick check if realoem shows the CF part has not been replaced/changed out with a new part number. So your CF driveshaft is replaced with a CF driveshaft.
And the M2 comment was just funny.

I am also affected, and the only reason I found out is because my dealer automatically booked an appointment for my car to perform the recall campaign in two weeks.

My deal called after I re-ran my VIN on their website, but they said they weren't booking appointments because they didn't have the full details on the fix, nor the parts.

My '17 M3 ZCP DCT is among those affected and I actually had the driveshaft fail one month ago while driving up my driveway. My carbon driveshaft was replaced with a carbon driveshaft. I was surprised the dealer had the carbon driveshaft in stock (maybe already gearing up for the recall?) so it only took two days total.

I called my service adviser and he advised there was no open issues. I put in my vin and it doesn't show either. However, my car is a f80 2016 m3 and definitely has a vibration issues from the driveline. Dealer won't do anything. Call BMW NA? Any other ideas? I've suspected it was an imbalanced driveshaft for some time.

To everyone who keeps asking/checking on a fix - it'll be available in mid December. As of now still looks like we'll get a CF driveshaft.
