BMW EGR cooler recall

I'm guessing the answer is an obvious "yes", but just in case the dealer suggests "no" I wanted to check:

Would a computer error 284C00 "Exhaust gas temperature sensor 6 Too large stack diff to compute value" likely be related to the recalled EGR cooler?

Have a car giving that error now which was inspected after the EGR cooler recall last year. At the time our local dealer's service report was that the EGR cooler was found to be in perfect working order.

I am UK based with a 2014 5 Series 520d (I have the later B47 engine so all new shape G30, have the same).

My original recall was carried out approx. 3 years ago and the ERG cooler was replaced at the local main dealer. It now looks like there is a second recall regarding a software update (DDE control unit) to monitor the ERG for excess soot deposits and all UK owners have been informed via a letter to the owners. Why this wasn't carried out when the car was in the last time is beyond me. I suspect BMWs in Ireland involved in the original recall will have another trip to the main dealers in due course.

The new recall is also now logged on the UK MOT check website and the BMW service portal for the car.

As it happens when our 5-series was in the dealership to check out the error message, the dealership told us that yes a new EGR cooler recall via software update is now being done. They did the update for us. Drivers may get a message on their car screen about it, or could probably call their dealer to arrange for the software update.

As an aside it turns the issue I mentioned in my post above was with a sensor.

Same here got seconds letter saying contact your local BMW dealer to book it in replacement egr

It's a shame they wasn't so proactive about timing chains problems

Depends on how you look at it . wouldn't want to be on UK motorway with no hard shoulder and chain go . same could be say about m50 some other roads . Definitely should have been classed as safety risk

How long was the gap between the 2 letters? My letter dated Nov 7th just mentions the software update.

Wife just got her letter, 2015 218d, specifc call out to replace egr cooler.

I wonder if this is EGR related... 😬

I got a letter about replacing the EGR cooler last year even tho it was replaced in 2019 this is a new one according to the letter.,my engine light has come on and its losing power but my local BMW garage cant take a look at it for another 6 weeks at least, anybody else been in this situation?

Had similar issue. EGR valve was stuck closed so was down on power.

I have 2014 320d , never an ounce of trouble , bought it in 2019

I had EGR recall work done on Thursday in BMW Naas , collected car Friday morning.

Saturday the car sh*t itself , wouldn’t start , then smoke came from under bonnet, really weird smell like wires burning.

Warning lights up everywhere saying battery power disconnected etc ..

Had to get it towed home .

Whats the hope of BMW taking responsibility? My lovely car is now a smouldering mess

He didn’t look under the bonnet ,

I just called my insurance, they sent the tow truck . I got a lift home.

I had my 1 year old with me so had to get her home.

update On breakdown after EGR recall

I called BMW Ireland and they arranged tow truck to the garage that did the recall

The garage have said the starter motor is gone.

They said they noticed the issue when doing the recall but never said anything to me .

I’m putting it out there to anyone in the know.

would the starter go that quickly?

I brought the car in on a Thursday collected Friday morning and the starter went completely Saturday.

never an issue before, could it be a fault due to recall?

is it normal for a starter to go on 2014 320D BMW, diesel, manual with push button start ?
