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: REPLACE THE PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SENSOR: The active hood for pedestrian protection may not be activated in a collision.
