Possible recall on the 2021 G80/G82?

Has anyone heard anything about a possible recall on the G80/G82?

My 2021 G82 is being held up at VPC Charleston, SC. for a possible recall according to my dealership. I'm trying to get more info from them right now.

A lot of those early issues that prevent cars from being delivered are specific to a certain number of cars in usually a very limited manner.

For example, Helmut is on vacation this week, and Fritz has taken his place on the second shift for exhaust installation. No one told Fritz that he needs to use the blue torque wrench to fasten the hangers instead of the red one.

So 24 cars got through until this morning when someone noticed it. Those cars are already on the ship being transported, so they will be held at the VPC until someone can get around to verifying the torque settings on that left nut.

Seriously, it's like that. Or maybe a bad set of injectors got through, or something like that. I've had it happen to me, and often they simply do not know about it until they get ready to release the car, and the computer says "not so fast there buddy, you gotta fix something".

So, unfortunately, you'll have to be patient. Yeah, I know, it's tough, when it's this close!

Best of luck.

Thank you for some insight! Now I'm just waiting for the Prozac to kick in

Will be interested to hear if you get any more details. Mine is at the same VPC, arrived 5/20, and I was at the dealer today trading in my M2C and it showed "Work Order Started" with today's date.

Mine arrived on 5/16 in Charleston and was at VPC on 5/19. It was delivered this past Saturday 5/29 and I picked it up yesterday 5/31. VPC had tagged it as a recall but it ended up being a very small scratch on one of the doors, which they fixed, and that's what was holding it up.
