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.
Exhaust Flap Actuator Is Loose. Enter the Chassis Number, which consists of the last 7 digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
