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.
REWORKING THE PVC SEAM SEAL ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL ARCH. PVC Seam Sealer on the right rear inner wheel arch may not have been properly applied. Ineffective manufacturing procedure.
