pulled my rear drive apart today to realise the rear flange is still aluminium and not steel and cracked into shite. Just wondering has anyone had issues getting the recall done lately? Mine is cracked on all but 1 bolt hole and it lost a bolt too

The twin cams already had the steel drive flange fitted from the factory.
If in doubt try a magnet on it.

I take that back, as it was a safety issue and the steel flange was introduced early 2010 I did not realise that BMW had continued to fit a dangerous part for another year.
As above my 07 with many owners 32k miles and alot of diy servicing went to main dealer when i bought it for a service and they told me it had not been done so they rectified the issue, BMW guildford, also while it was aprt they replaced the rear disk with no extra charge for labour.
I had the ali flange changed on my '05 and asked if I could keep it as I thought it would make an attractive paperweight (or something). wasn't allowed as it apparently had to go back to prove it had been done.
More likely, they don't want the possibility of it entering the second hand market.
Better go an check the one on my '09 has been done
Funny you said that , after my flange recall I had to send by bevel to Mikeboy.does pressing in the new part help destroy the bearings.... I expect the main aim is to get you to buy a new bevel
I've had it on two bikes the GS now rattles and clonks twice as badly as it did and the wheel bearings are now gone on the K1300
