BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10146631 · Apr 2017 · also written SI B13 02 17, B130217

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. This may cause abrasion on the protective fabric coating of the fuel feed line.
