BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11031576 · Apr 2026 · also written SI B61 03 24, B610324

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.

Gen 5 BEV/PHEV vehicles may set the Combined Charging Unit (CCU) in programming abort due to no communication to the HV charge socket electronics.
