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.

STEERING COLUMN STALK SWITCH STICKING. The steering column stalk switch for the turn signal sticks when actuating ""headlight flasher"" mode. Interference fit between stalk switch and upper steering column shroud."
