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.

COMFORT ACCESS & COMFORT GO DO NOT WORK SPORADICALLY IN WARM TO HOT TEMPERATURE: At warm to hot outside temperatures (above 60C° F) the customer may complain that the Comfort Access and Comfort Go sporadically don't work.
