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.

When the new mat is installed in the vehicle, too much pre-load pressure will prevent the mat from being enabled. 2. The new part has incorrect coding."
