BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10162457 · Jul 2019
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.
After the vehicle is turned off and has entered sleep mode (after approximately 30 minutes), the system operates normally.
