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.

CREASES/RIPPLES IN THE 2ND ROW 60/40 BENCH SEAT BACKREST SYNTHETIC LEATHER COVER: There are creases/ripples in the leather upholstery of the upper part of the backrest for the 2nd row of seats. This only applies to the 60/40 bench seat.
