What to Do When a BMW Recall is Issued

As many discerning drivers know, a precision-engineered luxury BMW vehicle is designed and built to some of the world’s most exacting standards for performance and reliability. But what happens when you get a notice about a BMW recall affecting your vehicle? Courtesy of Fields BMW of Asheville, here’s everything you need to know about how to respond to a recall.

Reasons for a Recall

While every aspect of a BMW vehicle is rigorously tested before it’s sent out into the world, it’s impossible to account for every possible eventuality, even for a team of some of the world’s best engineers. If a defect is detected in a component, or a problem emerges in the interaction between components, BMW quickly issues a recall. Usually, a recall is not due to anything dangerous, but our loyal BMW drivers are always the priority.

Don’t Delay

Most people are informed about a recall by receiving a notice in the mail. Once you receive information about a recall affecting your vehicle, the most important thing to do is to act promptly. Contact our service department at Fields BMW of Asheville, who will be standing by to repair or replace the affected component at a time that’s convenient for you and absolutely free of charge. If you’re not aware of a recall affecting one or more components in your vehicle, you can enter your vehicle identification number (VIN) into the database on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
