BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10246302 · Nov 2023 · also written SI B52 23 19, B522319
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.
Two areas of the third-row seat backrest that may cause a noise concern have been added.
