I'm am a quality guy in automotive, and the traceability for certain safety parts or critical components is very thorough. I've handled data that showed every single vehicle/VIN with certain airbag inflators during the Takata recall. I have no doubt BMW has full traceability of the parts and vehicles affected. |

The date range for the car assembly is easy. They figured out a batch of engines that may be affected and their production system spit out the car VINs they ended up in. If your car is in the assembly date range, but your VIN doesn't show this issue, you just simply did not get one of those engines. While your assembly date may be inside the range, your engine may be no where near the affected date range.

Now I have a question did a car engine failed? How did they came about with this find?

LOL IKR!! I couldn't search on the UK recall site so I tried US site and guess what nothing came out for my M4 that started production on July 14, just 2 days before the recall window and the definition of production date is as iffy as how this whole situation has been.

It would be a confidential information within BMW engineering and quality. Unless an insider leaks that information (which is highly unlikely), its almost impossible to get that information.

So I was unable to check through the UK check site as it's down but I tried the canada site (https://www.bmw.ca/en/ssl/VehicleRecall.html) and it doesn't show as having a recall.
I tried a vin decoder and it looks like my production date was 2021-09-15. I'm guessing I'm safe since it's an M4 and not an M3? |

My guess is the supplier found out the issue after the batch of parts were already shipped to BMW and reported it. BMW issues recall before any serious incidents could occur. |

This is just business as usual.
