Stop Sale for Front Left Strut Tower

~Barn~ · 07-08-2023, 07:47 PM

Unrelated to much, but I took delivery of my car yesterday (I see why y'all are into these cars now!) and I'm slowly digging through all the paperwork.

As I was filing stuff away, I found this little gem. Apparently there is a VDC! Who knew??

My car was affected and I have delivery booked for Monday afternoon.

The fix or inspection must have been pretty minor

Colinv6 · 07-09-2023, 03:41 AM

I had an M2 out yesterday for the day to see what I thought (it’s really rather excellent to be honest)

However over some bumps at slow speed I did hear a knocking noise from the front end. Now I’m wondering if it could have been relayed to this? I guess I’ll never know.

Anyways the car was fantastic.

That's awesome.
The question is, do you know if your car had a workorder for the repair?
Or was it inspected and found good then released?

Could be left-in shipping blocks?

No I don’t think so as the car rode lovely and didn’t sit higher than expected.

I am getting the same message. And my car is still on a ship en route to a VPC.

Is there a difference between a "technical enhancement" and a recall?

That is for the strut tower issue even though they make no mention of it. Here's an example, 'Federbeindom vorn nacharbeiten' translated to English is 'Rework the spring strut dome in front'.

Hopefully it means that they updated the work order and will fix our cars this week.

Mine has also been there since 6/16 and I also have the same message from those sites.

Squidget · 07-09-2023, 10:23 PM

Man, how many cars are actually impacted? We'll never know, right?

Ya we were on the same ship.
Almost a month there is crazy, hoping for some good news this week.

G42 Pilot · 07-10-2023, 10:18 AM

Do you guys have the ZTK package on this stop sale? Mine came on the same ship as you guys 6/16, has the ZTK option and stop sale. Just wondering if its just ZTK cars.

The ZTK delineation option is for the G42 M240. No such option (to add vs not add) on the G87.

Easy to get confused on the wrong forum with the title like it is.

The gift that keeps on giving. At least the URLs are different now. Ah, the good old days.

It’s not anything remotely scientific, the One’s that I could find with the same code pop up, usually their VIN are with-in 8PD5xxxx, I understand different regions may have different set sequence of VIN so I only lookup handful of 2 series on the West coast that still in “transit”, found 5 out 7 M240 and 1 additional 230 having the same code.

There are two other M240 delivered to my Dealership and third to other Dealership in the area last week, all offloaded on 6/16 without Stop Sale and their VIN are just ahead of that or mine. I just so happen to pick the good one’s out of bunch.

Posting in wrong forum.

G42 Pilot · 07-10-2023, 08:10 PM

So which forum do you suggest?
This issue is over atleast two model series and several platforms. Most of the helpful information is in this thread.
