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.

Airbag warning illuminated, fc 93D2. The airbag warning lamp is illuminated (permanently or intermittently) and fault code 93D2 (passenger airbag off light [pol]) is stored in the acsm (advanced crash safety module). Faulty fzd (roof functions center) or faulty acsm.
