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.
TRAFFIC JAM ASSISTANT BECOMES INOPERATIVE DURING USE. The Traffic Jam Assistant becomes inoperative while driving. Vibration actuator causes inadvertent contact between steering wheel trim and steering wheel, changing capacitance of steering wheel beyond acceptable parameters for Hands-Off detection.
