[NEW] Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if there has been a recall campaign, dealers must assure that
all new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are free of safety defects and comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

equipment to consumers unless the safety defect or noncompliance has been remedied before delivery.

SUBJECT
[NEW] Recall Campaign: Remove and Install the Windshield
MODEL
E70 (X5)
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 Service Action involves E70 and E71 which were produced on December 14-16, 2009.
[NEW] In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Service Action completed or is affected by this Service Action, 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. No parts should be replaced under this
Service Action.
^ 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.
^ [NEW] For affected vehicles retailed prior to the Center receiving this SIB, a customer letter will be sent out.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number 556. After the vehicle has been checked and corrected, if necessary, obtain a label (SD 91-366)

c. Affix the label to the B-pillar as shown.

top of another one, because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.
