After receiving a recall letter from BMW for the brake vacuum pump (recall campaign no. 10v-446), I took the car to crevier BMW but was told they didn't have the part. Never heard back from crevier BMW, forgot about it until the brakes completely failed without warning. Had the car towed to the nearest dealer in irvine. They replaced the vacuum supply line but not the vacuum pump. They recommended I replace the leaking vacumm pump at my cost of over $900. The description of the problem included in the recall letter from BMW specifically indicates that the leak from the vacuum pump into the vacumm hose, is the root of the problem. I spoke to j, mcclain at BMW and she said that the recall is a federal mandate and this mandate only requieres them to replace the line not the pump.
