SIB 51 24 22: Door failure

Door failure on BMW I20 models (2022–2023); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.

BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10230731 · Dec 2022 · also written SI B51 24 22, B512422

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.

The tailgate sporadically fails to open when signaled via the interior button (driver's door panel) or the key fob.
