The dealer just replaced an exhaust manifold as a recall. From what I gathered parts of it could end up in the catalyzer. Anybody heard of that?

edit- just read DD's post.

Received yesterday a letter from BMW asking to bring my 530d to the dealer to fix the exaust manifold problem (but I don't own any more that car!). In the letter they say there is a potential fire risk, so it should not be overlooked.

Do you know what cars are concerned by this recall (production date, serial numbers ...) ?
I did not receive anything and BMW France told me I am not concerned. But not always trust them...

Mine is Sept 2003 - no recall so-far, although it took them several months for them to get around to recalling me for the Heated Seats recall.
