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.
WINDOW WASHER FLOW INTERRUPTION . Front windshield washers spray poorly or not at all. CAUSE Partially or completely pinched supply tube caused by misplaced tube holder on hood hinge. Reposition and secure tube holder on the gas pressure spring.
