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.

Erroneous Trunk Lid Open Check Control Message. The trunk open check control message may appear, even though the trunk lid or tailgate is fully closed and latched. CAUSE Incorrect adjustment of the trunk latch striker
