That's too broad to lump all 2018 models into a recall. It'll be VIN based. Only one i know of are some LCI's had gauges that wouldn't work. A software push was the remedy. Few members on here suffered from it. My gauges have been fine and i called the dealership just in case but my VIN was clear.

I didn't recieve any recall notices but when I brought my 18 in for the 1200 mile service they did a software update regarding the dash even though I didn't have any problems. It automatically printed on the work order when I brought the car in. Took an additional few hours according to my SA. This was just last Saturday.

This is pretty common, they will issue a TSB for issues that are not worthy of a recall so when the car arrives for service it can get the software update or whatever done.

The post above is correct, recalls are not done based on model years, especially when they are in production, they are done by VIN/build dates.

I think some look at recalls or TSB's as negative, I don't at all. Fact is since the Chevy Cobalt debacle and punitive damages that were awarded the number of recalls initiated by manufacturers skyrocketed. They are far better these days of monitoring the cars they have built for potential safety issues and addressing those issues early on versus the old days. I would much rather get a recall notice and have to get a repair on something before there is a failure that could cause a safety or reliability problem. The rear diff recall was a great example of this, the manufacture of that component proactively identified that they failed to use the right spec metal during a specific period of time and initiated a recall with BMW immediately. Sure it was inconvenient but better than a diff failure in 5 years when your car isn't under warranty.

Here's the thread. I personally did not have any problems so the service was pro-active.

Same here. Did not experience any issues with my cluster but was required to have a software update when I did my 1200mi service

Thanks. Guess it wouldn't hurt. I just got my letter from BMW on the software update.
