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 ACTION: CHECK ROUTING OF FUEL LINE: The fuel feed line is not correctly routed behind the tank ventilation line and may conflict with components of the intake system.
