Hey guys. Know there's already a couple threads about the recall letter. Just wanted to post the pic I put in the other thread of the actual repairs, and description of the problem for guys expecting their letters. This affects certain vehicles in model years 2002-2010 5, 6, 7 Series. I live in Sacramento and just received my letter today. Be careful out there!

Thanks for posting the letter!

Any idea which E60 models are specifically targeted by this recall?

The recall covers 5,6,7 series and X5s along with some Rolls Royce cars with the 4.4 & 4.8 V8 engines. They will replace vacuum hose, brake booster, and brake master cylinder if needed. They'll give you a free loaner too. Got both of my cars worked on last week and all is well with the braking system.

Just got the letter today and made an appointment to have it taken care of. I guess the letters are starting to trickle in. BTW, I have a 2007 550i.

I went in for a simple oil change and break flush (still under factory maintenance) and they told me that my car was under recall and they fixed it for me that day. I still have yet to receive the letter from BMWNA.
