SIB 51 03 26: Squeak noise

BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11028923 · Feb 2026 · also written SI B51 03 26, B510326
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.
While driving on rough surfaces, a “creaking” noise can be heard from the B-pillar trim panels.
