Consumer Description

I JUST RECENTLY HAD TO TAKE MY 2012 BMW 328I CONVERTIBLE IN BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE PLUS LOSS OF HP. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE VANOS SOLENOID BOLTS HAD BROKEN OFF INTO THE ENGINE AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH INTO THIS I FIND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VANOS GEAR BOLTS. MY QUESTION IS DO I PAY FOR THIS REPAIR?
