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.

BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective June 2, 2021) on certain Model Year 2021 BMW 3 Series vehicles that were produced between May 5, 2021 and May 26, 2021. Most of the affected vehicles will be repaired at the VDCs and only a few have been delivered to dealers.
