SIB 51 10 26: Door noise

Door noise on BMW G45 models (2025–2026); BMW repairs affected cars free under a service campaign.

BMW service campaign · NHTSA ID 11037843 · Sep 2026 · also written SI B51 10 26, B511026

What it covers

A service campaign is a fix BMW performs free on affected cars. Ask a BMW center whether it is open on your VIN.

A gap between the rear left door seal and the side frame may allow moisture to enter. This can cause waterto splash onto occupants when the door is opened and may also increase wind and road noise.
