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.
DELIVERY STOP: ACTIVE GUARD SYSTEM: A Delivery Stop Service Action has been issued (effective April 12, 2018) on Model Year 2019 BMW X3 SAV vehicles produced from March 29, 2018 Ð April 3, 2018.
