Vehicle recalled for coolant cap replacement to prevent rupture of heater core and injuries to passengers. Heater core on vehicle is currently leaking. I contacted bmw customer relations to inquire if heater core would be replaced when recall was performed. I was told to contact a local dealer. The local dealer told me that heater cores were replaced on a case by case basis and this vehicle did not fit the criteria for a replacement under bmw goodwill. This vehicle is in excellent condition and was well cared for by the previous owner. I will not accept a refusal from bmw on this matter and would appreciate any assistance you might offer. I also found on this sight an investigation of bmw heater core failure and a recall#93v015000 of which i can not find a copy listed. Sincerely r.j.foley
