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.
SERVICE ACTION: B-PILLAR COMPLIANCE LABEL: CHASSIS NUMBER VERIFICATION. Vehicles may contain one or more incorrect labels. Incorrect labels attached during production.
