| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle new while i was stationed with the us air force in germany, to my understanding it was made in germany unlike most 325's at the time. It was produced under us specifications as i'd planned to bring it back to the states. I have continuously had problems over the years with the exterior lighting turn signal acting intermittently as mentioned in recall nhtsa campaign id number: 11v438000. However, after contacting my local bmw dealer, and bmw n. A., they have informed me my vin isn't covered under the recall. I believe i may have slipped through the cracks as a vin identified in the recall as my bmw was produced outside the normal channels of bmws affected in north america. I believe this because my vehicle exhibits the exact characteristics of the recall in question. I would like my vin included on the recall as even today driving the vehicle this morning i didn't feel safe because the turn signal is intermittent. |
