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.

NO BRAKING FORCE ASSISTANCE AFTER ENGINE START DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 4808B4. When starting the vehicle with Electric Park Brake (EPB) engaged. The brake pedal is hard. The red brake warning light in the instrument cluster lights up. The braking force assistance has failed (stiff brake pedal).
