BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10036979 · Jun 2010 · also written SI B32 04 07, B320407
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 new technical process has been created for BMW to identify causes of steering complaints with a wide range of models.
