So your saying these mass delays in production / delivery are being caused by potentially missing pins in the cars headrests?
Was planning on placing an order in the next two weeks, now I'm kind of worried.... |

In two weeks it'll be a month since this started and not having it resolved by then is strong sign the company is inept or the car has an undisclosed issue. By then, I would strongly consider cancelling my own order (getting my deposit back) and simply waiting for next years release. |

Quick update (...and a thread bump)
Good to hear that Hilly's been given an expectation of next Friday. No such luck on my end. Can't even get a confirmation that the required part(s) have been shipped but it sounds like we're still closer to the beginning than the ending. If anyone else affected by this recall receives info regarding vehicle readiness can you please update the thread? It'd be encouraging if there were a few positive notes being posted next week (and hopefully not the opposite). |

BTW. Assuming your location is correct, why is your vehicle in New jersey and not Baltimore? Using a dealer on the Northside of the state? Just wondering to myself if there's an overflow possibility at the Baltimore VPC. |

Two closer Maryland dealers (sales and management) were not only assholes (long story) but $1500-$2000 more expensive than the dealership in Lancaster, PA. They receive from Newark not Baltimore.

Understandable. There's a dealer in Baltimore I refuse to do business with myself. Glad you found a better and cheaper dealer. Hopefully everyone's wait will soon come to an end.

My M340i arrived in Baltimore August 2. I heard from the Genius last Thursday that there was a rear center headrest recall. She had no further information. This blog has the only info I can find on this recall.

Yup - Unfortunately, a large group of people waiting on the same thing, not knowing anything.

M340i held at Port Newark...
My production date was 7/11/19
Received at NJ VPC on 8/6/19 Supposed to be at dealer on 8/11/19 New ETA to dealer now 8/25/19 Got the ETA info from rep at “BMW Genius” Confirmed by my sales rep Delay attributed to same issue/recall discussed here: “Verify Head Rest Rear Center.” I assume safety regs require the center headrest to be in place, but I usually remove it for better rearward visibility when no third passenger in rear. I’ll post again around ETA date whether delivered or not. Good luck to all you “waiters!!” |

I, too, have an M340i on order which is currently being held at Port Bayonne for the rear center headrest recall (STOP014177). The original estimated delivery date to my dealership was August 17. I don't have an updated estimated delivery date.

My car started production end of July - I believe July 26th or 27th. It left Germany two days ago on Themis USA bound. I spoke with BMW genius and my dealership and they are not aware of any recalls. I hope that my vehicle also started production after the problem, however there's no guarantee. Hope they fix this problem soon for all of you who have been affected.
