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.
Bang & Olufsen Sound System: Loudspeaker Cover Rattles. The top center loudspeaker cover rattles when driving on rough roads. CAUSE Poor loudspeaker cover fitment to the speaker assembly.
