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.
GROANING NOISE FROM TAILGATE HINGE: A groaning noise is present from the area of the tailgate hinge when opening and closing the tailgate.
