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.
Rattling Noise from Windshield Defroster Vents. Rattling noises can be heard from the instrument panel where the defroster vents are located.
