BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10146895 · Oct 2016 · also written SI B51 34 15, B513415
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.
SERVICE ACTION: CHECK RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR FOR WATER LEAK TIGHTNESS. The sound insulation on the right side rear door may not have been bonded properly. The right rear door sound insulation may not have been applied correctly and can cause water leaks.
