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.
Model E70 equipped with an automatic tailgate. The rear tailgate may not operate in either direction due to wiring damage.
