    Depends on what they consider a safety problem. My only major problem was the well known "death rattle" from the timing chain on the N14. It was never a recall, but more a technical bulletin that the individual dealer could replace at their discretion. I got lucky and my dealer sprung for the entire cassette replacement and provided a loaner car. Others were not so lucky. I guess it's not a safety problem if your engine seizes up.
    I did find out one thing though. If my HPFP fails I'm outa luck since the extended warranty ran out 9K miles ago. :(

    One thing to consider.... Most of the HPFP failures occurred early in their life... You got a good one...

    Although expensive, they seem to be easy to replace...

    It's funny because it's not a joke. Wait, what?

    15V660 scheduled for one of my two 2005 cars, the TD96271. Apparently the red one, TL11596 was built late enough not to be affected by this problem.
