BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10218418 · Jul 2022 · also written SI B61 13 22, B611322
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.
A limited amount of Model Year 2022/2023 (MY22/23) vehicles were produced with non-functional smart opener control units. The Smart Opener is part of the Comfort Access feature, enabling to open the trunk lid or tailgate using the "foot kicking" motion beneath the rear bumper.
