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.

PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FAILED: When utilizing the Parking Maneuvering Assistance (PMA) system or during a parking maneuver, various check control messages (CCM) are displayed.
