Service bulletin BMWMAR1016

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

Service Action Thermostat 11 53 8 657 054 (Update 9). Please remove these part numbers from automatic replenishment and SRD ordering. Please check your inventory and order only as needed; we are seeing in excess of fifty pieces at some dealers (as noted below these parts are non-returnable).

Your orders will backorder and be manually released in the order received regardless of order type (Stock order, VOR order, Late Day VOR).
