Recalls: check by VIN
NHTSA files recalls for the BMW 1 Series under individual trim or body names rather than "1 Series", so we can't match them automatically. Enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the definitive list. The owner complaints below are matched correctly.

I UNDERSTAND THAT BMW WILL REMEDY THE DEFECT PRESENTLY, HOWEVER 10/7/09 I PAID $271.78 AND 7/28/10 I PAID $294.25 FOR REPAIRS TO THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. WILL I BE REIMBURSED FOR THOSE REPAIRS DONE AT MY LOCAL AUTO SERVICE COMPANY, SINCE I WAS UNAWARE AND NOT INFORMED BY BMW THAT IT WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS? I DO HAVE THE BILLS FOR THOSE REPAIRS AS PROOF…
