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.
Service engine soon lamp or the check gas cap warnings are illuminated while driving. When diagnosed, the DME has stored faults for small leak, micro leak, super fine leak, or large leak in relation to the tank ventilation or evaporative system
