Has anyone heard of a 550i recall for rear bushings? My dealer advised me that it may cause a delay in the delivery of my car. Please advise...
Thanks!
Thanks!

My SA claims that mine will not be delayed and that there is no recall. His just arrived last week and it took approx. 4 weeks including installation of the aero kit at the VPC. Not bad. Only if I got that kind of service.

I recently took delivery of my 550i (6/15). I asked the quesiton in May about the recall. It effected many 5 series being delivered to the states. It was only for a select group of vehicles built in the Feb-Mar time frame. Mine was unaffected since the correction was made for all vehicles built from April on. The VPCs were doing the bushing replacements. They got backed up for a while but the backlog was caught up in May. My 550i with M Aero kit install went through the west coast VPC in under 5 days! Unless there is a new recall I suspect yours should have no delay for a recall. This is old news.
