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.
N63R - VALVETRONIC ACTUATOR POSITION FAULTS CAUSED BY POOR HARNESS CONNECTION. The Service Engine Soon (MIL) Lamp is on and a ""Drivetrain Malfunction"" Check Control warning may be displayed.
