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.
Deformation of the Fuel Tank. The vehicle loses power while driving. There may also be a complaint of difficulty refilling the tank. CAUSE There is inadequate venting of the fuel tank.
