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.
Service Action: Replace Fuel Door Cover Pot. Under certain conditions, the fuel door locking pin may become jammed and/or the emergency release pull cable does not function.
