Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is BMW 1165900700 a recall?
No. A warranty extension is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 1165900700 repair free?
A warranty extension is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 1165900700 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2023 BMW 2 Series, 2022 BMW 2 Series, 2020 BMW 2 Series, 2021 BMW M, 2022 BMW X2, 2021 BMW X2 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
