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.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL): IHKA FC 801386 This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B12 10 18 dated April 2018.
