This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI 18 06 12 dated August 2012.
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION
BULLETIN ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR
THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
BMW centers must ensure recalls are completed after having been notified by BMW of North America, LLC (BMWNA) that a
safetyrelated defect or noncompliance exists in any motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment in the center's possession
at the time of notification. In BMW NA's case, this notification would typically be made by the issuance of a recall notification in
the form of a Service Information bulletin (SIB) or transmission of a Dealer Communication System (DCS) recall message.
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if a recall campaign is announced by BMW NA,
centers must ensure that all recalls on new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are completed BEFORE delivery
to the consumer. This means that centers may not legally deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to
consumers with an open recall.
The Safety Act also prohibits centers from selling or leasing the motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment, unless and until
the open recall has been completed BEFORE delivery. This also pertains to vehicles in the Certified PreOwned program, and to
items of replacement equipment.
Finally, BMW centers should not sell or use parts that have been recalled by BMW NA.
Please follow the specific instructions provided by BMW NA on the return or disposition of the parts.
