Today I received information from my dealer that the BMW M2 Coupe has been recalled for a small change.

The BMW dealer told me I have to come back to the dealer because two screws on the underbody stiffener plate of the car have to be replaced. It should be done soon (in order of months) to prevent a possible noise or corrosion occurrence.

There is no safety risk according to the dealer. I will do the replacement next week.

Bugger, mine has just been at the dealership for 2 days getting issues looked at, they could of fixed this at the same time.

What issue did you have with it?

Interesting!

If you folks remember, a few months back we had several cars sitting in ports waiting to be delivered to dealerships. Well, it ends up that the reason was they were fixing these bolts, which are on the prop shaft.

I'm guessing cars that didn't sit for long or went straight to dealer may not have had this work done.

The service was done on my car on Friday. It was for free and the service specialist allowed me to have a look at the paperwork. The total work was done in under an hour. I made this photo of the instruction:

How can you check?

[Em-too]

I checked my VIN here https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/

Says 0 recalls. Good enough for USA cars?

[Wickedly]

Mine says zero recalls too and I check at mybmw website

It was built the 16th of February. It was one of the first.

Should not recalls be send directly to our car´s computer system by teleservices? That would be so much easier!

A recall at NHTSA.gov is not the same as a " service bulletin " from a manufacturer

In My BMW, select the car and then click on the Safety Recall button which will call this page wtih your VIN or you can go directly to the page and enter the VIN.

I think they list service bulletins as well, but how timely is it, don't know.

Correct. One can look up service bulletins , recalls and safety notices on all vehicles at nhtsa.gov and one can also report issues that they are having with a vehicle. Once enough reports are received, nhtsa will investigate the issue. Nhtsa may force the manufacturer at that point to issue a recall or bulletin or update to the product.
