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.

After replacing and encoding the HOD electronics (Hands-on Detection), an incorrect parameter was transferred to the HOD electronics due to a coding error.
