Three recalls on the M340i!
Brought my car in for rattle in speaker, low oil, unresponsive selector dial on steering wheel, Bluetooth issues, and the one recall I was aware of. Found out there were two more recalls I wasn't notified about. One for software related issues and the other is unclear.
This is my first time getting a first year car and I'm not sure I'll ever do it again...

Can you provide more specifics on this? I'm not sure that my cross traffic alert has actually ever even gone off, though there is no formal recall issued for it.

Was specifically told by service department there were a total of three but admittedly I do not know the specifics

Update: one of the additional recalls is for the "Program Control Unit" whatever that is
Appears to be a silent recall as I do not see this information on the recall portals

I recommend you don't take the recalls too seriously and just keep driving your car normally and service it when it needs servicing. There are no major recalls that have to do with reliability or major engine/vehicle issues so there is no need to upset about it. |

When it comes to recalls and repairs of this sort BMW actually is pretty good. I had one of the 1st E92 335s in 2006 and that car had too had oil sensor, i-drive, high pressure fuel pump & etc etc issues which were all addressed by the dealership. By 2008 MY most of those issues were addressed.

I thought maybe it was just subtle but now that your guys mention it, I also never saw it in action.. (And Yes, it is checked off as on in the iDrive menu) |

NTF (No Trouble Found). The cross traffic alert is very subtle. It is simply the bottom corner of the 360 view lighting up red for a small amount of time. Now that I know what to look for, I have seen it happen, but I think this is a terrible design. I have never heard it beep at all. It will not detect pedestrians or other objects, only cars approaching.

I made an appointment for my first oil change and the dealer informed me that there are 3 open recalls on my M340i.
I have received notices in the mail for these two: 19E-A02 Reprogram OBD Software 19V-684 Rearview Camera I didn't have time to get the details of the 3rd one but I plan on calling the service department on Monday and getting some more information. UPDATE: Third recall is B611-319 Dual Storage System |
