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.

Delivery Stop: Roof fin. BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective September 16, 2022) on a small number of Model Year 2022 - 2023 BMW vehicles that were produced on July 26, 2022. There is potential for water ingress via the roof antenna housing.
