BMW X5 M (E70) V8-4.4L Turbo (S63) Page 406
E71 (X6)
SITUATION
The windshield may have been improperly bonded into the vehicle during assembly. As a result, the rigidity of the body in this area may not be
sufficient.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall involves E70 and E71 which were produced on December 14-16, 2009.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Recall completed or is affected by this Recall first check the B-pillar label for code
number 556. If code number 556 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 556 has not been punched out, it
will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system,
either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
CORRECTION
Remove and install the existing windshield.
PROCEDURE
^ Carefully remove and reinstall the windshield per Repair Instruction REP 51 31 000.
^ The windshield must be removed using the "Roll Out 2000" wire cutting system, per Repair Instruction REP 51 31...
NOTES:
^ [NEW] The windshield and associated trim should not be damaged during removal, and should be reused. However, in the unlikely event the
windshield becomes damaged during the removal process, it may be replaced per REP51 31 000, and claimed to the Defect Code listed below.
^ For additional information on the Roll Out 2000 system, refer to SI B04 26 03.
^ If tape is used on the windshield flange during installation, it must be positioned such that it does not overlap the adhesive bead, or interfere with
the bond between the glass and adhesive bead.
