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.

An interference noise (rattling noise) can be heard near the rear center seat"¢Â€Â™s safety belt feed trim (circled) in the headliner.
