BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10245372 · Nov 2023 · also written SI B51 32 18, B513218

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 paint finish on the door jamb (above the door striker) is scratched due to the inner door cavity window seal.
