IS YOUR BMW BEING RECALLED?? Here's How it Works!

How to check your blower motor wiring: bit.ly/2sP7WZY
I recently got a recall reminder letter from BMW for the blower motor wiring. It was a widespread issue across many BMW models that in rare cases could cause cars to catch fire.
In this video, I explain how to find out if your BMW is part of the recall, and if so, what to do next. Like any other safety recall, getting the parts replaced on your BMW is completely free. It will just cost a couple hours of your time going to your local dealership. Luckily, according to the letter, there is a snack bar [laughs].
Last weekend I had a chance to go to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. While I'm not a big fan of brand new cars, the new BMW influenced Toyota Supra was pretty sweet. Despite all of the hate it's getting online, I thought it was a cool car. Maybe not the Supra people were hoping for, but still cool!

Thanks for making this video. Found about this problem because of it. Taking my car in next Saturday. Keep up the good work!
You provide a great service, Justin
Great vid man, keep up the great content. I want to get an e90 in like a year and your channel inspired me to like them a lot so thank you.
Great info brother. We moved from Atlanta, Georgia and shipped our American spec X5 here to England. We have a couple of recalls to get sorted at the British BMW dealer but we can't do it until we get the MOT completed and new UK plates. The biggest hassle so far was adding a Fog light to the rear and adding bright Amber LED bulbs in the rear to be in compliance with UK standards of having Amber indicators all around the car.
Just got the recall done like two weeks ago still you informed me on things i missed before like the lock keys for this generation of bmw's btw thx for that.
Thanks just reminded me to take my xb in for the recalls.
Thank you for the video, I just got the same recall here in Finland for my 318i e90 (2009) and if its not for you i would get panic attack about this haha. I will book a time in the BMW Service Center, good its just next to my house. Thank you!
I got that recall done last week! :)

Just got this recall done last week. It was the first time I drive my E92 335xi out of my garage this winter LOL.
Thanks found out i have a blower recall aswell. Getting that taken care of tomorrow
Great video dude! I didn’t know the BMW website had a place where you could put in your VIN! I also did my own video on the new Supra if you want to know my thoughts!
Yes, I had the blower motor done and the PCV. Some dealers send the tech to your residence for the blower motor wiring.
I also have a 3 series of the same age with the same recall notice. Im over in the UK and i have to say that i got the same level of service offered to me too. BMW really went out of their way to make this recall as smooth as it could be. And people getting upset about the new Supra is just weird. I mean Toyota have done this before with other manufacturers (BRZ etc.)
U.K. BMW has fixed the problem already
That M5 was straight🔥

I don’t even have an E90 anymore; right now I have an S550 Mustang. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching your videos anytime. Still respect BMW’s.
Yes dude! Got that letter for my e91!
Did you hear about any recalls on the BMW reverse cameras. Mine gets stuck after driving forward and have researched but only for newer cars for the same darn thing. The emblem trunk release which is a poor design is causing problems. 2012 650I with only 25K miles. I will have to contact them Tuesday then.
I used to own a Mk4 supra and loved it, but now I'm a BMW guy. Honestly, Toyota waited too long and I'm not really interested in the new supra (or the Z4 for that matter). If Toyota would've just started recasting the 2JZ it'd be a different story.
Did this recall on my e90 back in September 👌
Here in the US , thinking about getting an 328i 2012 with 100k miles on it... Should i?
I got an EGR cooler recall on my 2014 BMW 535d. Apparently it can cause coolant to mix with the spot coming through the EGR and leak in to the intake as a possible fire hazard. The recall letter says if you experience any of about three symptoms, to stop driving it and take it in immediately to your BMW dealer. The letter said there is no fix available, but they are working on it. I’ve been struggling trying to get my dealer to do anything. I’ve been using coolant and there’s a sweet, fruity smell coming from the exhaust, mostly at startup. Googling the smell tells me it’s burning coolant. Anyway, I took it in for the third time yesterday and BMW finally has parts and I’m scheduled for service on Monday. I will have to look into finding another dealer, but the next closest is 60 miles away. Very disappointed in the poor dealer experience I’ve had to date.
Was not expecting that ending lol

Im only using it for these sit down shots witth the camera on a tripod. It runs off of a big old school camcorder battery, so when you put the screen on, it doubles the size and weight of the rig. On the plus side, there’s an accessory cable that you can buy that will allow you to power the a6500 off that battery brick as well. I’ll do an updated gear video soon so you can see what the whole thing looks like. It’s extremely helpful for dialing in your framing and exposure, but you wouldnt want to carry it around
Ima go and check that out also
When my one was done+ Brake service they actually picked my dad up in a f90 M5.
I got a recall letter for the wiring for my blower motor or something lol. I need to schedule a time to take mine to the dealership. I have a 06 330i btw.
Thanks bro, I recently bought a used car... and I checked the site and I have 3 recalls Drivers front air bag, blower motor wiring, and Positive Crankcase Ventilation(PCV) Valve Heater. Will they replace all three for free or is it just the Blower motor wiring ?

I scheduled an appointment to take my 07 z4 to the my local bmw dealership after receiving the recall on the mail. Once I got the dealer they toll me I need to drop my car for 4 to 5 days. Question do they need to provide a rental or i just going to have to deal with uber charges for a week? I decided reschedule it for next week because I didn't plan on not having a car for this week.
The most frustrating thing about owning my BMW has been trying to get recall work done. I live 2 hours from the nearest BMW dealer, so trying to find a time when it works, that I'll be around, is a pain. I've been trying to get it done for over a year now. I just need to dedicate a weekend to it and get it done I guess.
My bmw dealer has ice cream sandwiches and all kinds of snacks lol. Got mine fixed last year
do they replace the blower motor due to the faulty wiring? I think Mine just went out.
Now I want to check mine lol
That Supra is hot👍🔥

Did 3 recalls on my 08 3-series they gave me a newer X1 and holy shit it was amazing lol back up camera, some type of sensor all around the car and so many little features my car didn’t have 😂 my recalls were all done within the day but I was at work but the time they told me the car was ready
I like it and once it hit the streets we're going to change it up anyway we're going to give her a nice facelift✌🏿
I got that on my M3 and 325i as well

Hey so I took my e90 like 3 weeks ago for a recall service as soon as I drove off the lot, when they were done 2 warning lights popped on about the exterior lights. I didn’t give it much thought but I got home at night I realized some of my lights are out but they say it’s a coincidence and now want to charge me over 1500 any thoughts?

That doesnt sould like a coincidence and $1500 is insane for replacing a few lights. Did you take it to a BMW dealership? I might try a different dealership if there is another one in your area and get their opinion. Light bulbs for these cars aren’t very expensive
heard your going to wait years for it been waitign for them to fix the sensors in my seat for like 5 years
I really like the new supra. If they removed the "supra" name from it I'm sure it would get a lot better feedback. It just has so much to live up too. Most people say that since it's a BMW engine it's going to be bad but I've had great reliability with my N52 :)
Hi I’m in the uk and just brought a bmw 525 from a private seller ie some guy from another town , it had a year mot which is legal (I’ve checked ) i took it to my mechanic who gave it a full service because the digital engine management control unit was listing various problems , my mechanic couldn’t find any problems other than some black tape used to hide engine light and a seatbelt light that won’t go off ? I went online to check mot history and found it has a recall but not why or what the recall was about , I checked on Google and found that recalls in America were for this very reason but none for the uk I could find anyway now I’m unsure what to do as if it isn’t this I can’t afford bmw to change the whole computer system or someone else to check it over 😢any advise please 🙏

There's apparently two different lengths of wire for this recall, depending on the exact model of the car, and according to my dealer, the shorter section of wire is approx 90 minutes to replace, if you have the longer wire it's 3 hours. I have an 08 335xi coupe, which had the longer section of wire and it took all of 3 hours to replace in my car today at the dealership.

What if mine E92 N54 is tuned, no cats and MHD stage 2 flashed? Is it safe to give it to official dealer? Won't they report that or do anything with my custom flash?
