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.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING: STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION INSUFFICIENT. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) vibration of the steering wheel is not sufficient (too weak). Vibration actuator software.
