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.

This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B12 43 15 dated November 2015. A Delivery Stop has been issued on certain F30 vehicles produced from July 1, 2015 to November 2015.
