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.
BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective December 1, 2022) on certain Model Year 2023 BMW i4 andi7 vehicles that were produced between October 5, 2022 and November 10, 2022. A bearing in the front electric drive unit could fail due to a manufacturing defect, resulting in a noise while driving.
