BMW informed me of a recall for VANOS variable valve timing system. In rare cases, the bolts holding the VANOS unit housing may become loose, or, in "extreme" cases, break. A broken bolt may trigger an engine warning light or send the engine into safe mode if the VANOS unit is compromised. Ignoring the issue could cause "no start conditions," stalling and further engine damage.

I was inconvenienced a bit, given a rental vehicle (at no-charge) overnight.  However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a goodie bag left in the front passenger seat.

Included:
- Expandable Tote, nice seatbelt material (perfect for airline carry-on duty)
- blue note book
- carbon fiber vacuum coffee tumbler
- BMW Motorsport Ball point pen

Hope you like the goodies!
