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.
REVERSE LIGHT SHINES INTO PASSENGER CABIN. Reverse light shines into passenger cabin at the rear window and glares into driver's eyes from interior rearview mirror. Deletion of light cover.
