BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10242688 · Aug 2023 · also written SI B24 03 23, B240323

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 error may cause an unwanted pressure pulsation in the transmission during a "Remote Engine Start."
