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.

SERVICE ACTION: REPOSITION DOOR WIRING HARNESS: Door wiring harnesses must be inspected in both front doors.
