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.

No Flashing Confirmation when DWA Is Activated. The DWA alarm (Anti-theft Alarm System) has no confirmation if the vehicle is unlocked with the hood open and then locked again. CAUSE Software error in the DWA
