BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10253730 · Apr 2024 · also written SI B61 03 23, B610323
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.
The buttons on the GWS do not work, or the function indicator lighting has failed.
