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.
SERVICE ACTION - REWORKING THE HIGH-VOLTAGE SYSTEM CONNECTOR: The sealing plugs (aka sealing grommets) on the low-voltage connector to the high-voltage battery were incorrectly mounted. The white-colored plugs seal off the individual wire chambers in the connector.
