Service bulletin 131110
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
BMW Advanced Diesel vehicles are equipped with a fuel-filler neck that incorporates a misfueling protection system to prevent gasoline from being mistakenly pumped into a diesel engine vehicle's tank. If a diesel engine vehicle is filled and operated with gasoline, internal engine damage, fuel delivery and emission control system failures will occur. Only fuel nozzles with the recommended "specified" diameter for diesel engine passenger vehicles can be inserted into the filler neck. Most fuel stations have their diesel fuel pumps fitted with this recommended diameter fuel nozzle. However, if the vehicle's filler-neck misfueling protection system has been disabled, or the incorrect diameter fuel nozzle has been installed on the diesel fuel pump, the vehicle's diesel fuel system can be contaminated by filling the diesel engine vehicle with gasoline. If the diesel fuel system has been contaminated with gasoline, follow the repair guidelines below:
