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 the Manufacturer's Certification Label. The gross vehicle weight data was not specified correctly on the B-pillar label. AFFECTED VEHICLES This Service Action involves certain F16 (X6) vehicles manufactured from November 24, 2015 to February 25, 2016.
