Hi.
My D4 is whitin the vin number mentioned in this post(AA53....) but not whitin CA63... The dealer has allready welded the rigth hand pipe, 15-20 inches before the rear muffler. I assume that the left side also will break, but my warranty expires in mars month. Should i accept welding as proper fix, or should i insist on replacement of the rear exhaust system?

Not sure what you mean by in the range/not in the range? My dealer just replace the centre section then clamped the tail pipes back on, both sides, no arguing. given there is a tsb on it, I'd be tempted to go back to the dealer before the warranty is up and ask what they're going to do about it
