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.
SECOND ROW SEATS INTERMITTENTLY ELECTRONICALLY INOPERATIVE. The second and/or third row of seats intermittently may not electronically function preventing third row access. The customer may state that one or more seats do not respond to any inputs from the various switches.
