my car was built in august
did not receive any notice about a recall since the vw debacle, it seems that authorities have been tightening the screws on all imports and no sale recall have become a common theme |

Model year 2020, September 2019 build. Took delivery November 1. I was in for something else and they mentioned there was a recall they needed to look into. Later in the day when I picked it up, they told me it was for a transmission wiring harness, but they wouldn't have a fix until February and gave me back my key.

Take note; they may treat cars that have already been sold and delivered differently than cars that haven't been sold yet as far as priority and timeline.

Eventually reached the dealership on a flat bed, and the short story was that transmission wires got exposed somehow and short-circuited, rendering the transmission unusable. They fixed it though in a couple of hours and could get my car back next day

Just talked to my dealer. Apparently an easy fix, all they need to do is to tighten a cable to a different location... that's it... would be nice if someone could confirm this information from my dealer.

I heard about this recall today as well. BMWFS blocked my assumption on my M5 to a potential new lessee.
BMWNA said February as a timeline for a fix, the delay is due to the part they need is not available at the moment. Confirmed as well to be trans harness related. |

I'm waiting to pick up my M5 which is sitting at the dealer. My salesman just told me that BMW will have an answer as to the fix and timing within the next 48 hours.
