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.

CREAKING NOISE FROM REAR INTERIOR: A creaking sound can be heard from the inside of the rear of the vehicle on either side, around the rear seat backrests at the floor.
