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.
A groaning noise can be heard when accelerating and cornering from the area of the shoulder safety belt support(s). The complaint can occur in both the driver's seat and the front passenger seat.
