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.

NOISE FROM A/C ON POWER-UP AND VENT SELECTION. Contact between directional flaps and distributor housing
