PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS AND PRIOR TO RETAIL DELIVERY.

SUBJECT
Service Action: Condensate Drain Hose Check

MODEL
F01, F02 (7 Series)
F07 (5 Series Gran Turismo)
E60, E61 (5 Series)
E63, E64 (6 Series)

SITUATION
The connecting pieces for the condensate drain hoses of the air conditioning system may have become blocked.

CAUSE
Material from the manufacturing process has clogged the angle section. The condensate cannot flow out, and overflows into the vehicle interior.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves E60, E61, E63, E64, F01, F02, and F07 vehicles which were produced from 10/7/2009 to 10/13/2009.

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.
