SITUATION

AFFECTED VEHICLES

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 558. If the code number 558 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If the code number 558 has not been punched out, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the 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.
PROCEDURE
See attachments.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number 558. After the vehicle has been checked and/or corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-366) and :
Emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1):
Punch out code number 558 (2), printed on the label: and
Affix the label to the B-Pillar as shown.
