I have had 2 BMW with the same recall. And I keep calling the local dealer. It has been 6 months and it should be an easy fix. I feel because of the age of my cars they are dragging their feet. I need to get this recall fixed because I use these cars for business

This is a complaint surrounding the recall on the vehicle. I have called the dealerships closest to me 4 times over the last month and a half to remedy with no such luck. My car 12/15, was smoking from the water pump location in the engine. It has done this when driving for more than 20 minutes or driving for the first time if taking the weekend off from doing so. There is a burning smell that comes in from the vents. I have had the oil changed and inspected, there was no leak found either time. there is "no remedy available" according to the dealership but this has been ongoing for 4 months. There is a fire hazard, I have relayed that I have seen smoke but have to drive the car as it is a daily driver for my family. no solution, even temporary has been discussed from the dealer.

Water pump recall has not been provided since the month of August . Engine light warning light just appeared on my vehicle
