What it covers
A service campaign is a fix BMW performs free on affected cars. Ask a BMW center whether it is open on your VIN.
Low current flow may cause excessive current in parts of the BCP circuit board and damage the unit. A wiper failure is indicated by a yellow warning light and the “Windscreen wiper fault” Check Control message.
