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.

SERVICE ACTION: REPLACE KAFAS CAMERA (CAMERAASSISTED DRIVERS ASSISTANCE SYSTEM): The KAFAS camera features are inoperative, and this does not trigger any warnings or check control messages.
