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.

DSC WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AFTER TRANSPORT MODE DEACTIVATION. After vehicle start-up from transport mode, the DSC warning lamp flashes. CC message "driving stabilization restricted" is displayed in the CID.
