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.
Water Leaking into Trunk. Water leaks into the trunk on the left or right side. CAUSE The trunk lid hinge bracket fastener is not sealed to the body properly.
