I thought I was alone on this one. Bought our new X1 at the end of October 2024 and received the B Pillar safety recall letter in mid February. My X1 has been with my BMW dealer since 19th Feb and is awaiting the results of the metal analysis. Dealer has been poor at keeping me informed, I have had to call them and request updates that have been few and far between. When I did get to speak to a service manager, they told me that if the metal analysis comes back as suspect, they will need to replace the B Pillar safety bar on one or both sides of the car. This could take approximately 15 hours for each side!! This sounds to me like major structural work and has me questioning the safety of the new vehicle I was sold. I believe that under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we have the right to reject goods that are not of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose or as described. I am hoping that this is one of these situations and if they need to replace the B Pillar safety bars then we can request a new replacement vehicle.
