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.
WASHER FLUID LEAKS FROM THE HEADLIGHT WASHER JETS This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B61 14 16 dated August 2016.. Washer fluid leaks from the headlight cleaning washer jets. Calcification buildup causes washer fluid to leak out of the headlight cleaning washer jets.
