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 (MIL): EME FC 222321. The Service Engine Soon light (MIL) is intermittently illuminated in the instrument cluster, and fault code 222321 ""Inverter, current sensor phase U, signal: Too great"" is stored in the Electric Machine Electronics (EME). CAUSE EME software error"
