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) - IHKA FC 801375 & 8013A3 This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B12 27 15 dated November 2015.
