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.

SUBJECT Front Seat Thigh Support Cover Loose. The front seat (left or right) thigh support cover is loose. The thigh support cover is not fully clipped into place.
