BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10227929 · Nov 2022 · also written SI B65 20 22, B652022

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.

A check control message for the restraint system appears.
