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.

HIGH VOLTAGE DIAGNOSTIC SPECIALIST TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT STRATEGY. INFORMATION The ST1821 High Voltage Diagnostic Specialist Certification (HVS) is the next step in the E-mobility service strategy for BMW technicians.
