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.
Door Will Not Go Up All The Way. The driver's side or passenger's side door may not open to the highest position. Insufficient lifting force from gas pressurized damper spring.
