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.

SUBJECT 12V Battery Discharge Message (CCM 794) After Charging. The CCM is displayed immediately after start-up, and goes away after driving a short distance. Generally, no drivability concerns are present but in isolated cases, a complete discharge of the 12V battery is possible.
