BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11036379 · Aug 2026 · also written SI B32 05 26, B320526
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.
“Cracking” noise might be heard when turning the steering wheel from lock to lock. See attached video V3202 26 EPS noise.
