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 seal on the rear lamps in the side panel emits a gas and causes damage to the electrical connectors on the leds inside the lamp. E91.
