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 CHANGE WARNING: FALSE ACTIVATION. Lane Change Warning (LCW) system issues warnings when no other vehicle is present: illuminates lane change warning indicator on the exterior mirrors vibrates steering wheel Lane change sensor software
