My m340i made it to port 12/01 and was originally scheduled for dealer delivery 12/06, 12/05 it got held at the port because of a stop sale relating to recall 20V-761, which hasn't even hit the NHSTA site yet...

I was able to get a bit more info today, it seems it's to do with the 48-volt battery terminals and they've yet to determine a fix.

Anyone else caught up in this recall? Anyone been stuck at port for a recall before so I have an idea of range of timeframe? I only found one other thread, that (luckily? only?) took two weeks to sort.

Oh, and just a heads up other 2021 m340i owners, you may have a recall bulletin coming though maybe it's only German builds? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[MBM340]

Will let you know what I hear...21 owner here.

My car was in transit and at port over the last two weeks from Mexico, was never held up at port for recall issues, it was delivered to dealership yesterday and I am taking delivery tomorrow.

I have recall on my 2021 G21 340d that I got in Sept 2020. It has a 48 volt system. The recall is to check the terminal connection to the starter motor. Apparently there is a risk the car may fail to start.

Haven't got around to booking it in yet.

Sounds like the one! Probably don't have to rush to book it, they don't have a fix yet - or an ETA on one - from the little I've been able to find out.

I've seen a bunch getting delivered still in a few of the other threads, all of the one's that mentioned where they were built were Mexico, so I'm thinking maybe the issue only with the the German builds. Maybe a bad batch of terminals or something...

[Blubaron79]

No issues. Mine was at the port all last week. It's on a truck and supposed to be getting dropped off at the dealer right now.

The recall and fix finally popped up on the bmwusa.com recall search tool... I'm hoping it can be handled quick and get on its way 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I don't have any open recalls, Mexico build in October. Maybe just a Germany thing? There was a starter issue that sounded close but that was just a single production day. Interested in what the fix is.

It's with the 48V terminals, so that sounds like it's probably the "starter issue."

Here's a screen cap of the recall notice from the BMW site...

[xlover]

I was able to take delivery of my wk 42 Mexico build on Friday afternoon.

[warrenw]

Does it specify which 340's this effects?

I have a germany build that I took delivery of on the 7th...

It’s rather non-specific, but the NHTSA site finally had documents up. It’s a pretty specific range of dates and only affect like 800 some odd cars.

Here’s all the docs I’ve found though...

Looks like 25 G20 units were affected? But a relatively simple fix. Hopefully yours gets released ASAP.

Seems so, check the connections and put on new nuts, if needed. I refresh the VIN check every so often to see if it's been closed yet 🙈
