Service bulletin B330124
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.

| B120523 | 2026-03-13. Service bulletin. The customer states there is a Drivetrain Malfunction message displayed in the instrument cluster. In addition, the following fault memory entries are saved in the CCU (Combined Charging Unit) 0317F2 - High-voltage system, insulation fault detected: when switch contactors are closed. 0317F1 - High-voltage system, insulation resistance below warning threshold: when switch contactors are closed. The fault memory entries (isolation faults) can occur both individually and in combination and must be traced back to the eDrive motor based on the ISTA test procedure. If ISTA test procedure lists possible cause of fault as; A metal chip is found behind the brush module (between the brush module and the end shield of the electrical machine). Repair required. Refer to service solution no. 20000794435083 in Aftersales Information Research (AIR). Follow information in the Procedure section below. |
| B121425 | 2025-11-25. Service campaign. RSU availability. BMW AG is conducting a Service Action on certain Model Year 2025 - 2026 BMW vehicles that were produced between March 17, 2021 – November 6, 2025. In certain driving situations there can be a loss of traction or wheel slip followed by a throttle or torque requirement that can potentially damage the axle shafts. Damage of the drive shaft can cause it to break. |

| B120523 | 2023-10-01. Service bulletin. The customer states there is a Drivetrain Malfunction message displayed in the instrument cluster. In addition, the following fault memory entries are saved in the CCU (Combined Charging Unit): 0317F2 - High-voltage system, insulation fault detected: when switch contactors are closed. 0317F1 - High-voltage system, insulation resistance below warning threshold: when switch contactors are closed. The fault memory entries (isolation faults) can occur both individually and in combination, and must be traced back to the eDrive motor based on the ISTA test procedure. If the ISTA test procedure lists the possible cause of fault as “a metal chip is found behind the brush module” (between the brush module and the end shield of the electrical machine), then a repair is required.
