BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10238073 · May 2023 · also written SI B34 07 20, B340720

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.

DSCi units which potentially have a faulty hydraulic valve were installed in the vehicles. The affected units may activate a sporadic red-colored Check Control Message.
