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.
After a few miles or several thousand miles, check control message, hybrid malfunction, may appear after programming of software for vehicle.
