Recall: Vanos Adjuster (2011 SDrive 30i)
BMW have just sent me an early notification of a recall for a faulty Vanos adjuster that could put the car into limp mode (and perhaps
damage the engine). My car is a 2011 SDrive 30i (N52). I imagine others will also be getting these. The letter doesn't indicate exactly which models are affected.
I'm pleasantly surprised that they're contacting owners of a 13 year old car
damage the engine). My car is a 2011 SDrive 30i (N52). I imagine others will also be getting these. The letter doesn't indicate exactly which models are affected.

I believe they were N52 between 2009 and 2012 ish..
In the US this has been 'grinding on' for some time!

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

There was about 9 years ago a vanos bolt recall on a small number of UK cars. Try Dvla recall site. They did list affected vins.

My colleagues car was a 2011 23i, called back 9 years ago. My 2009 23i wasn't affected.
Perhaps they are expanding the call back.

I think they must be, as the Mrs 2010 23i had the same letter… how much disassembly is required? Wondering if this will mean a free cam cover gasket replacement??

Is this the Vanos bolt recall that's been going on forever? I was told mine was done back in 2013.

My 2010 2.3 had the recall done last week.
I did not get a letter, I just phoned the nearest dealer and they did the job with no fuss.
Took them about 4 hrs
