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.

KAFAS STOPS RESPONDING AND FAILS PROGRAMMING: During programming of the vehicle the session aborts or the programming fails due to the KAFAS camera (Camera-based Driver Assistance System) no longer responding.
