SIB 31 03 24: Axle noise
Axle noise on BMW G70 models (2023–2025); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.
BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11031573 · Apr 2026 · also written SI B31 03 24, B310324
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.
When rolling forward or backwards with the steering at full lock (left or right) without the brake applied, a “groan”-type noise may be heard from the front axle. The noise is most noticeable after load reversal. The noise can be heard beginning at the 7 second time stamp.
