[skeptic]

I found the following information about the "Voluntary Recall" in the attached slides in the November Service Roundtable. B061110

I don't know why the bulletins have not been released/updated. The reconstructed bulletins below were done with serious eye strain as the images in the slides were created with low resolution. I think I have most of the info correct, but it is possible things like the dates are not as they were almost impossible to see clearly.

It looks like some of us are closer to receiving our letter.

Product Quality Update

• All with N54 engine produced 06/2006 up to 03/2010
• Emissions Recall 10E-A02: N54 High Pressure Fuel Pump
• Approximately 141,000 vehicles are affected
• Depending on vehicle’s production date Recall will consist of:
1. DME Programming (126,000 vehicles), or
2. Low pressure sensor / HDP inspection and replacement (38,000 vehicles)
3. Or both operations (19,000 vehicles)

• Check fault memory
• If LP sensor faults (e.g. 29F3, 2A2D, etc) are stored, then replace the sensor
• If LP faults are not stored, perform ISTA EKP activation and observe the low pressure value
• In case pressure exceeds 6.7 bar, replace LP sensor
• Check HDP part number installed in the vehicle
• If the P/N is 13 51 7 613 933 (currently available), do not replace it
• Otherwise replace HDP with P/N 13 51 7 616 446

• Recall Campaign planned release with customer notification
• End of November 2010
• SI B13 09 10, and
• SI B13 13 10

SUBJECT
Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign 10E-A02: N54 High-Pressure Fuel
Pump: Program Control units

MODEL
E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, E90, E92, E93, F01, F02 with the N54 engine produced from 02/06/06 to 03/26/10

SITUATION
The customer may complain of extended engine cranking time before the start. Also, fault code 2FBF (Fuel pressure on – release injection, pressure too low) may be stored in the DME.

CORRECTION
The new DME calibration improves the engine starting strategy and the robustness of the HDP high-pressure pump.

Copy of the customer notification letter is attached.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves E60, E61, E71, E82, E88, E90, E92, E93, and F01, F02 vehicles with the N54 engine which were produced from 02/06/2006 to 03/26/2010.

In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this Recall Campaign, first check whether the Recall Completion Label, 50 92-406, is attached to the right (passenger) rear side of the hood in the engine compartment, close to the windshield. If the label is found, the Campaign has already been performed. If the Recall Campaign Label is not present, it will be necessary to utilize the “Service Menu” of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

PROCEDURE
Program/recode the vehicle using the current ISTA/P version (2.37.2 or later). The target integration levels should be:

E8x/E9x – Integration level (new): E89X-10-03-504 or higher
E71 – Integration level (new): E070-10-03-502 or higher
E6x – Integration level (new): E060-10-03-501 or higher
F01, F02 – Integration level (new): F010-10-03-504 or higher

PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS

SUBJECT
Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign 10E-A02: N54 High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HDP)

SCOPE
E60,E61,E71,E82,E88,E89,E90,E92 and E93 with the N54 engine produced from 06/06/2006 through 10/20/2009

SITUATION
An internal component in the high-pressure pump (HCP) may fail causing drivability symptoms such as longer starting times or ??? engine ignition. Should the situation occur, the engine emergency operation (Safe Mode) is activated and the Service Engine Soon lamp (ML??) is illuminated.

Note:
In this situation, the vehicle can continue to be driven, even for long distances, without the risk of a breakdown.

The low pressure fuel sensor may deteriorate prematurely due to internal leakage. The Service
Engine Soon lamp (ML?) may be illuminated with the appropriate fault code in the DME fault memory.

Copy of the customer notification letter is attached.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
The Emissions Recall Campaign involves E60,E61,E71,E82,E88,E89,E90,E92 and E93 vehicles with N54 engines which were produced from 06/06/2006 through 10/20/2009

In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had the Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by the Recall Campaign, first check whether the Recall Completion Label 50 92 406 is attached to the right (passenger) rear ??? of the hood in the engine compartment, close to the windshield. If he label is found, the Campaign has already been performed. If the Recall Completion Label is not present, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

CORRECTION

Read vehicle's fault memory using the current version of ISTA/P. Check, and if required, replace the low pressure fuel sensor and the high-pressure fuel pump (HCP).

Note:
E89 (Z4) vehicles are not equipped with the low pressure fuel sensor. A fault memory low pressure memory check should not be performed on E89 vehicles.
