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.

REPLACE KAFAS CAMERA. A CCM (Check Control Message) advising of a front camera malfunction is displayed in the CID when the ambient outside temperature is high.
