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.

It was discovered that an indentation or crack on the driver and/or passenger seat crossmember rear outer dome (circled ;viewed looking frontwards) can form. Note: The rear inner dome on both the driver and passenger seat crossmembers are not affected.
