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.

GLOVE BOX COVER: It is possible that an out-of-specification glove compartment cover on the passenger side was installed.
