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.
Perform the procedure outlined in this service information on all affected vehicles before customer delivery or the next time they arein the shop for maintenance or repairs.
