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.
Noise from Steering Column Switch Cluster when Turning. A scraping noise is heard from the SZL (Steering Column Switch Cluster) area. This occurs when turning the wheel from 30 to 60 degrees. CAUSE The unlocking pin in the SZL makes contact with the steering wheel.
