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.

BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective March 29, 2022) on three (3) Model Year 2022 BMW X5 SAV vehicles that were produced on March 23, 2022. The 12V battery vent tube will need to be replaced.
