LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number 453. After the vehicle has been checked, and corrected if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-278) and:
a. emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
b. punch out code number 453 printed on the label (2) and,
c. affix the label to the B pillar as shown.
If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.
