Does anybody in this forum get contacted by BMW due to battery recall?

There is recent thread (started yesterday) on i4 forum regarding battery issue which looks like impacting i4s and iXs.
Some i4 owners has been informed yesterday to immediately stop using their cars and tow to dealer.

Battery Recall

My M60 is due into Auckland next week so naturally one gets a bit nervous that it might be affected. Conveniently the BMW NZ recall site seems to be throwing an error but the BMW AU recall site (https://www.recall.bmw.com.au) works and says my vehicle is not affected by any recalls as of now.

Hopefully it stays that way and we're all set for delivery very soon.

Nope. As of now my air bag has gotten the fix. It shows no recall on the car

Airbag fix? mine still not available according to dealer. But that was Friday...

 

[Spieder]

As of this morning the air bag recall has a remedy

 

[Moesess]

Yep. Mine was fixed

My M60 is waiting at the VPC in Baltimore and still shows remedy not available on the airbag

 

[Moesess]

Hopefully they will get to you tomorrow. In what state are you picking up your car?

 

[MrMoose0987]

Wisconsin

 

[Moesess]

Ahhh a lil bit further than Virginia

My M60 is waiting at the VPC in Baltimore and still shows remedy not available on the airbag View attachment 2085

Mine as well - Baltimore VPC. My understanding is the software is mailed to dealers and distribution points - likely why some areas are ahead of others. We'll see if the 28 July date holds true for all....

My M60 still shows remedy not available as well. I wonder in what order they are applying fixes

Lucky me, I got an email and call Friday to tell me to stop driving my IX immediately and park far from any structures due to a chance of a “thermal event”. If you haven’t received any contact you are probably safe

 

[MrMoose0987]

My concern is with mine being at port and not knowing if it’ll be delayed or not. And not knowing if it’ll become more widespread.

if it gets delayed by 2 months, that’s around 2800 dollars total in additional finance charges if rates go up by 1%.

So, interestingly, I’m getting different results. On one of the bmw recall check sites I show not available.

on this one I show it available: BMW Safety Recalls: Manage Recall Notices

not sure what’s up here

Same for mine. So we can conclude that maybe there is a remedy. Or maybe not. I think I had concluded that already, without BMW's assistance....

Did you get any info what is going on?
Are you able to see it in BMW recall website?

Ok. This does show a remedy available July 25th for my car. Is it just the airbag? Valet? Charging?

 

[Paladin1]

I was told a couple of weeks ago all three on my iX, with the following defect codes:

0065800300 - Valet Module
0065780300 - Airbag Display
0061870600 - Charging Module

But following that, no additional updates. Will definitely be checking Monday....

Of course that is your concern. My reply was intended for people who already took delivery and paid for a car they may be afraid to drive and they may have to turn in.
