m340i Held at Port for Recall (20V-761)
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)_/¯ |

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. |

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...

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.

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