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.

TOUCH COMMAND: SEAT CONTROL FUNCTION MISSING AFTER PROGRAMMING: The seat adjustment function for front passenger and rear seats is missing from the BMW Touch Command.
