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.
Edk throttle potentiometer faults-diagnosis. Models E60, E63, E64, E65, E66, and E70. The service engine soon and dsc/dtc warning lamps are illuminated. The engine enters the power reduction (fail safe) mode.
