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.

DWA (ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM) - FALSE ALARM ACTIVATION: The alarm (DWA) system of the vehicle is being triggered accidentally.
