What it covers

A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.

Cautioning light in the instrument cluster or a check control message in the display indicate the power-assisted steering has fail.
