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.
DELIVERY STOP - REPLACE FUEL TANK: Over time, a fuel tank weld seam may start to separate at locations in which welding may have beeninsufficient.
