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.
A software problem is causing the transmission to enter safety mode with the transmission light on. There is a stored trouble code.
