The NHTSA --- if you go to the site http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/recallsearch.cfm and search for the NHTSA Campaign Number: 07V479000, it shows up. Note that it seems to apply to some 650 and x5s also.

It looks like pretty much every other recall I've ever seen. Why do you think it's odd?  SignatureDan.

Why do > you think it's odd? > The use of the word 'Crash'. ??? Almost every recall I've ever seen, both auto and motorcycle, use the word 'crash'. What word would you rather have them use? "Punt"? ;-) >>> If this is a genuine recall, the person who wrote it is very >>> un-professional. > >> It looks like pretty much every other recall I've ever seen. Why do >> you think it's odd? >> The use of the word 'Crash'. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >"Punt"? ;-) "Unintended vector conflict" works nicely for me. SignatureDan. Maybe a country specific term. I just don't like the use of the word 'crash'. >> The use of the word 'Crash'. > ??? > > Almost every recall I've ever seen, both auto and motorcycle, use the word > 'crash'.

"And this... this would be your crash helmet?" "Oh, no, don't say crash. No, I don't like that word." "But, this is the actual suit you will be using on this great undertaking?" "Oh no. Don't say undertaking." -- Jose Jimenez, The Astronaut Signature"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." Touché >> Maybe a country specific term.

Why do > > you think it's odd? I recently attended a company sponsored driver safety training course. The instructor used the word "crash" and "wreck" repeatedly. I asked him about this afterwards,and he said those words have a lot more impact than "accident" and they used them purposefully. Perhaps it is the same here. > If this is a genuine recall, the person who wrote it is very > un-professional. This is a standard recall summary template. What are you talking about? Pete
