Yes,

I had a call today (UK). Should BMW provide a 4 wheel alignment after the component has been replaced? Before this recall, I had been experiencing rattling/vibration which BMW could not explain, so suggested I pay for alignment...

Has anyone heard anything further on this? I am hearing that BMW are still trying to identify a fix.

Also, so we know if it’s all G20s during that period or just some?

FIX TBD still.

Doesn't seem like a huge recall. As of today, there are about 1045 affected for all of Canada for 330, M340 and Z4 models.

Thanks! I’m hoping they identify a fix soon, but maybe the relatively small number of cars affected (plus COVID) explains the delay.

Just checked for this on the BMW website and it seems my car is one of those affected but as we are still in lockdown here I can't book the car in as yet.

It was in all day, but I also had a headlamp replaced under warranty and a harmon kardon issue looked at, at the same time, so not sure if I could have waited for the tie rod to be done.

I would have thought they would want the car all day though.

I see....Mine's still on order. It's been a month and no call yet from BMW. I guess Covid really messed things up with the shipment
