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.
Inadequate Cleaning of the Rear Window Washer. The customer may complain of poor rear window washing/clearing at the lower portion of the rear glass. CAUSE The rear wiper blade moves before there is a sufficient amount of washer fluid on the rear glass.
