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.
The controlling vacuum line for exhaust turbocharger wastegate valve becomes detached from its "t" connection and no longer able to build up charge pressure.
