EGR Cooler Recall - UK Timelines

[Cranswick852]

Any UK members had their EGR Cooler Recall work completed? My 2014 M Sport 40d finally went in for inspection today, it is affected so they've held on to the car and, of course, parts are on back order. I've been given a Hyundai Santa Fe from Enterprise as a loaner for 3 weeks initially and wonder how long this is likely to go on for. Not happy with a Santa Fe if this is going to drag on

Santa Fe didn't cut it. Nudged the dealer (no push back) and I now have a 630i with 580 miles on the clock. Not my X5, but much happier. Initial dealer offer was a new 740e, but trunk space was limited.

Service rep mentioned that their dealership had over 40 cars in awaiting the EGR cooler

I've not had any recall mentioned to me on this even with my second year service booked in for next week. Does this just affect older models?
Mines a MY2018 or March 2017 model.

There is a window of manufacture dates which might be affected, can't recall which but do remember that it doesn't go up to current date.

Dealer said about 60% of recalled cars need rectification work, so it sounds like it might be a sub-contractor issue: whether you need s replacement depends on which sub-contractor supplied your cooler.

Someone I know was quoted 6 weeks for back order on parts. They took the car in for a service and the dealership said they would do warranty work at the same time. Wouldn't give her the car back as it was a safety issue. Arrived in a 4 series left in a 1 series. UK
