BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10245376 · Nov 2023 · also written SI B61 21 23, B612123
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.
The steering wheel heating takes a long time to achieve the desired temperature.
