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.

Service Action: Replace Power Steering Pump Belt Pulley. The screw connection on the power steering pump belt pulley may slacken. This may lead to an audible squeaking and rattling at the pulley drive. AFFECTED VEHICLES This Service Action involves 5 Series 535d vehicles according to VIN selection.
