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.

Service Action: Radio Reception Interference Due to Taillight. A Service Action for a Delivery Stop has been issued on certain F16 vehicles produced from August 1, 2014 through October 30, 2014.
