My old Beema is 04, just had a letter from BMW H.Q. that my car needs to go in to replace some parts in the Front (6) Air Bags, how's that for service?

Free? Or will there be a charge?
Question Author
No charge BHJ, first of all I thought a scam mail until I contacted BMW UK & they confirmed, they also said the car would have a free valet, my reply to that, if can find dirt within this car you can keep it.
Question Author
That should be BHG.
That's good then - I suspect the "explosives" have become time-expired.
My initial thought was, they're in it for the money they're going to charge you .... but if it's free, like you say, then hats off to them :)
Question Author
That's what I suspect BJH, they must have had an issue somewhere for them to call these old cars in.
TWR...sounds like a good deal !
Question Author
A Freebi as well Mikey.
Can't argue with that TWR !
on a depressing note, it it sounds too good to be true.....

Just hope they don't then try to convince you that shocks/anything else need sorted and it's going to cost £xx

If all is at it seems, then yes, good after-sales service.
I'm not sure there will have been a problem. It's well known that explosives degenerate with time and BMW have a reputation to maintain. It's nice when proactive actions are taken rather than, like Vauxhall, claiming there was nothing wrong with their self-igniting Zafiras.
Wow what great service, until a big smiling fast talking salesman talks you into getting some spinning rims, a Delorian body kit or a hydraulic kit to make your car bounce
I think TWR is savvy enough not to be conned by such tactics Alba - not everybody would be, of course.
It's compliance with a quick wash thrown in to stop folk squealing about inconvenience.
Question Author
Alba, I can guarantee you that would not happen in my case, the car is often underside fully checked by myself x
bhg, I'd like to be the fly on the wall if anyone tried to do that to TWR !
Question Author
What they have explained in their letter Douglas that they would prefer these systems to be checked " In Case" one does deploy, in other words a claim I would think, good on them I say.
I am Not sure if the Government did make it law that failure to respond to a 'recall' could result in vehicles automatically failing MOT.

The following link is useful to check for 'recalls' on any make and model of vehicle:-

https://www.gov.uk/check-if-a-vehicle-has-been-recalled

Hans.

As it is a vehicle safety recall surely they are simply meeting their statutory obligation?

Not sure it deserves the back slapping and high fiving.
