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.

KAFAS04 (CAMERA-BASED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS) LIMITATIONS: Various functions of the KAFAS (without radar installed) are not operating up to customer expectations.
