2018 e63s recalls

Just called the local dealer for service A and they advised me there is a recall on the car which got to do with the bottom bumper inserts grill and radiator ? Have you guys heard of this recall before ? They said stones might get into the bottom and damage the radiator and there is a recall .

So this was supposedly installed on the ‘19s from factory but mine didn’t have them. So when it came time for my 2,000 mile oil change they did this same recall. They are plasticky wing/blade like inserts within the grille and intakes. They are supposedly going to mitigate the rock to intercooler/radiator risk. I will take a picture when I can.

My 2018 had these on the side intercoolers but not on the central radiator. I had already ordered the part two months ago before the recall. My SA confirmed that it is the correct part for the installation.

Pre recall. Not the same angle so I don’t know.

anoyne know if they will still do the recall if zunsport grilles are already installed? If I had to choose, I’d stick with zunsport As those inserts do not look all that protective.

Those inserts look like they'll stop cats and small children, but not the normal assortment of rocks, nails, and screws that one normally encounters.
