Got my recall notice a few days ago as well. I called in to schedule the work and they put me on a list. Seems BMW of Sterling in Virginia does not yet have the parts in stock.

Went to the dealer a couple of days ago for some warranty work. Talked to the service rep about this recall. He said I'll be getting a letter as soon as they get their back ordered parts in from Germany. I'm in Orange County CA. Anyone from this area not get a letter yet? He didn't know how long it'll be. Just said soon.

I too am in Orange County, CA. Haven't received a letter yet. Even though I bought my car as a CPO, BMW North American at least has my name in the database. The woman I spoke to said I should park my car OUTSIDE until the cable is replaced!! How bad is this?

Has anyone heard of any problems with the cable starting any cars on fire???
