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.

RATTLING NOISE FROM LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT. Rattling noise is noticed coming from the area of the luggage compartment. Fuel line is vibrating and coming into contact with the fuel tank.
