Service bulletin BMWJUN0616

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 Thermostat Part Number 11 53 8 635 689 (Update 11). Although the supply of thermostat 11 53 8 635 689 is increasing, we will need to maintain the order restriction to a maximum of 3 per day. We have released nearly 800 pcs in the past few days. As stock continues arriving from Germany, orders will be manually allocated to backorders beginning with the oldest first. Oldest backorder date is currently 4/15/2016. These backorders will be released in the order received regardless of order type (Stock order, VOR order, Late Day VOR) when stock is available. Any order over 3 pcs per day will be cancelled. As a reminder, please remove this part number from automatic replenishment and SRD ordering. Please only order for car down situations. There are 1262 pcs available in dealer inventory; please use locator and share your stock. Once supply is sufficient and consistent from the supplier, we will open this part number for normal ordering without limitation. We will continue to provide weekly updates.
