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 - INSPECT NUTS ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER: BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective June 23, 2020) on certain Model Year 2020 BMW vehicles that were produced between March 10, 2020 and June 1, 2020.
