BMW Service Technician

While we pride ourselves on the world-class quality of the BMW vehicles in our inventory, it is occasionally necessary to recall certain vehicles or parts due to safety issues. Being able to conduct a BMW recall check is a vital part of automobile ownership, yet many members of our community are unsure how to do this. To address this issue and others, our BMW dealership assembled this list of simple steps to follow if your car or one of its parts is recalled.

Step One: Check if Your BMW Model is Subject to a Recall

In the event of a recall, you will receive a notification in the mail from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) that explains the nature of your recall with instructions to bring your vehicle to our service center for repair. The quickest way to check if your BMW model is subject to a recall, however, is to visit the NHTSA’s official website and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into their recall-lookup tool. In seconds, this handy feature will tell you what, if any, BMW parts for your car have been recalled with steps to follow to remedy the issue.

Alternatively, you can always call our local dealership, where our helpful associates will be happy to assist you in identifying if your vehicle is subject to a recall.

Step Two: Determine Whether or Not Your Car Can Be Driven

While many recalls involve minor enough repairs that a short trip to our local service center is still safe, sometimes an issue is severe enough that your car should not be driven. 

In such cases, your recall notice will indicate that you should reach out to us for a tow. Simply give us a call, and we’ll send someone to help bring your car to our garage safely. 

Step Three: Allow Our Skilled Technicians to Fix Your Vehicle

Most recall repairs can be made very swiftly. In some cases, however, we may need to keep your vehicle overnight, so it may be beneficial to arrange for alternative modes of transportation while your car is at our certified BMW service center. We always work as quickly and efficiently as possible, and our technicians will have you back on the road in no time.
