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.
WINDSHIELD WIPER HITTING A-PILLAR: Windshield wiper is hitting the A-pillar at the upper end of its travel.
