Tailgate service information on BMW F48 models (2022); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.

BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10227933 · Oct 2022 · also written SI B61 26 22, B612622

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.

When signaling the vehicle to open the tailgate, the tailgate will only open a few millimeters.
