Bmw N20 Timing Chain Warranty Extension
For this vehicle, the timing chain and drive chain for the oil pump limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship has been extended to 7 years/70,000 miles as determined from the original in-service date. This coverage is subject to the same vehicle eligibility requirements, limitations, and exclusions that apply to the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Passenger Cars and Light. MODEL SIB 11 03 17 2021-10-22 N20 AND N26 ENGINE TIMING CHAIN AND OIL PUMP DRIVE CHAIN: LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION.
A BMW timing chain lawsuit settlement has been reached over vehicles equipped with N20 and N26 direct injection turbocharged engines that can fail. According to the timing chain class action. Just to let everyone know BMW has added a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty on the timing chains that continue to become stretched and break.
Not much of a relief to n20 owners since most break after 70K but if they fail before then, warranty should cover it. Until June 29th 2022, the timing chain warranty extension that previously covered vehicles up to 7/70 is now "regardless of age". There are mileage limitations.
Under 70k and the repair is free. Over 100k and BMW doesn't offer any help. With a graduated scale in between.
On June 30th, the coverage reverts back to 8 years/ 100,000 miles.
