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.
REAR SEAT RATTLE . Rear bench seat backrest rattles when driving on uneven roads. Rear bench seatback rattles between the attachment points and retaining clip contact surfaces.
