Service bulletin MC0000517

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Changing of the drive chain set is presently prescribed at 12,000 mi. in the maintenance schedule for BMW Service for the K02 and K03 models. A change at this stage may not be required. Thus the maintenance work "Changing the chain set" will be replaced by the maintenance work "Checking and lubricating the chain drive" as in the case of other models with chain drive.

The document

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
