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.
LOOSE, NOISY, BMW EMBLEM ON TAILGATE . BMW emblem on tailgate wobbles and makes crackling noise when touched. Incorrect initial installation.
