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.
DELIVERY STOP - CHECK STARTER BOLT: BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective July 30, 2020) on a small number of Model Year 2020 BMW vehicles that were produced on July 10, 2020.
