SIB 51 04 24: Tailgate service information

Tailgate service information on BMW G05/G07 models (2023–2025); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.

BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11022104 · Aug 2025 · also written SI B51 04 24, B510424

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/uneven roads, a buzzing sound can be heard from the upper tailgate interior trim panel.
