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: CHECK BADGE ON TAILGATE, REPLACE IF NECESSARY . The "BMW" trunklid emblem (arrow) which contains the rear-view camera may not have been correctly fastened during vehicle production.
