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.
Rattling Noise from the Front Passenger's Side Glove Compartment Area. A rattling or clattering noise may be heard from the front glove compartment area when driving on rough roads.
