EGR Recall
I have my 2016 X1 booked in for main dealer service next month (4 year service).
They advise I have an outstanding recall on the EGR and will need to leave the car with them all day. Anyonwe know what this is about and why BMW haven't contacted me about it before now? |

There could be a variety of reasons, so anyone giving you an answer is only guessing. You should be asking BMW UK because it is safety-critical.

Quite a few owners in Greece had the recall done.
Bear in mind that it requires some ECU update, too so any tuning or coding will be lost!

You are incorrect!
The recall is for safety, so, it is safety-critical. See... https://www.which.co.uk/news/2019/10...ver-fire-risk/ Quote:
https://inews.co.uk/essentials/lifes...-models-353168 BMW has confirmed that is has extended a recall of cars affected by a potential fire risk. The German car maker initially recalled almost 300,000 diesel models in the UK in 2018 but has said that a further 27,000 cars are now being recalled to check for a potential fault. Quote:

I took mine today, they confirmed there is no need to replace the EGR and its safe to drive. There are some specific models that require replacing. It was good to get the car jet washed for free though

Well had my car in today for its service and EGR recall work.
They showed me that before they started the work there was an error logged on the EGR so they managed to replace it (outwith warranty) and charge it to BMW! That was a bonus! |

Last time my X1 went in for Service and washed by dealer it came out with more scratches than when it went in, cowboys. 2 days in the dealers paint shop been polished out. Never let a dealer wash your car |
