BMW service campaign · NHTSA ID 11027759 · Jan 2026 · also written SI B16 02 25, B160225
What it covers
A service campaign is a fix BMW performs free on affected cars. Ask a BMW center whether it is open on your VIN.
The assembly cover on the left side of the fuel tank may not have been properly plastic welded. Thiscould lead to a smell of fuel after refueling or service engine soon light (MIL) for an evaporative leakin the fuel system.
