I had both recalls done on my 2010 a couple of weeks ago (VIN 70216) at MAX BMW. For the fuel recall, since mine showed no signs of failure, they installed a reinforcement band. The band is how the improved part comes through now.

For the hub recall, they replaced it. Wished I could have kept the original, but MAX tells me the original hub is not provided to customers as part of the recall. Not sure why that is. Wondering if the original hubs are sent back to BMW for analysis or wondering if BMW just wants as many of the original hubs as possible out of circulation. I am guessing the latter but does anyone know?

I understand from a BMW Tech that the original hubs are fine unless you are an idiot and don't carefully torque wheel bolts per spec. The replacement hub is steel so one could argue that it is a downgrade to protect idiots with wrenches. I reluctantly decided to get the recall done in case I ever sell the bike and one of these threads gets started about my bike. Grin.
