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/Creaking Noise from Front Passenger's Side Instrument Panel. A rattling or clattering noise may be heard from the front passenger's side instrument panel, when driving on rough roads.
