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.
LED Headlight Malfunction. 1. The LED headlight on one side malfunctions. 2. One headlight flickers on and off while driving (problem is sporadic). 3. The Check Control message indicates the parking light or driving light is defective.
