SIB 34 02 26: Brakes warning message

Brakes warning message on BMW G22/G23/G26 models (2026); BMW gives an inspection and repair procedure.

BMW service campaign · NHTSA ID 11036389 · Aug 2026 · also written SI B34 02 26, B340226

What it covers

A service campaign is a fix BMW performs free on affected cars. Ask a BMW center whether it is open on your VIN.

The protective film which covers the 6 threaded connection holes on the DSC hydro unit may not have been completely removed before the brake line was fastened. This can lead to a gradual loss of brake fluid at the threaded connection.
