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.
In vehicles equipped with the Roof Function Center “FZD‑21” variant, a quiescent‑current violation mayoccur if the system fails to enter sleep mode. When this sleep error is present, a remote software upgrade(RSU) may be aborted and the FZD can become degraded.
