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.
BRAKE LIGHT REMAINS LIT AFTER BRAKE PEDAL RELEASE: The trunk-mounted brake light remains lit for several seconds after the brake pedal is released.
