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.

N20 leak diagnosis module (nvld): Limited warranty extension to 10 YEARS/120,000 miles.
