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.
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE UNAVAILABLE AFTER ENGINE START: Sporadically, upon start up, the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) is not functioning.
