BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10211852 · Mar 2022 · also written SI B16 01 22, B160122

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.

During manufacturing, the evaporative lines for the EVAP system may have been routed incorrectly. This could result in a Service Engine Soon (MIL) lamp turning on.
