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.

Reversing Camera Intermittently Does Not Display a Picture. After engaging reverse gear, the reversing camera intermittently does not display a picture. However, after a key cycle, the reversing camera once again displays the picture.
