# Service bulletins for the 2015 BMW F 800 R

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.

84 bulletins from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

- [B611305](/bulletins/10249027.md), 2024-02-01, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The electrical system of BMW vehicles has been subject to an ongoing development process over the last few years. This has led to increased demands being placed on the battery. This document covers important information for the dealer on how to handle “discharged battery” complaints.
- [MC000521](/bulletins/10204667.md), 2021-12-13, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. One of the following situations can occur when connecting to BN2000 motorcycles: 1. The installed control units cannot be found when reading out with ISTA. 2. Control units initially communicate after connecting to the vehicle, but communication later stops.
- [MC210221](/bulletins/10200257.md), 2021-08-09, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN. The clutch plates do not tolerate frequent and prolonged operation at the clutch friction zone, causing a shorter service life in motorcycles that see intensive use
- [MC460421](/bulletins/10194317.md), 2021-05-24, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT. The customer complains about metallic rattling noises from the area of the chain guard on the footrest plate
- [B660115](/bulletins/10152317.md), 2018-12-17, Service bulletin: BACK OVER PREVENTION. Surround View Camera Last User Mode Operation Change. After programming with ISTA/P 2.53.5 or a more recent version, the rear camera view is displayed when the reverse gear is selected. The vehicle does not remember the last user mode \(surround/top camera view\). INFORMATION An operational concept change for the surround/top camera view was introduced with ISTA/P 2.53.5 \(I\-level Fxx\-14\-07\-505\). When the reverse gear is selected, the default view will be the rear camera. The surround/top camera view has been removed from the last user mode function. This is to meet the upcoming \(new\) federal regulations regarding rear view cameras. Note: The surround/top camera view is available, but the driver must manually switch the camera view using the iDrive controller.
- [B122114](/bulletins/10152305.md), 2018-12-17, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Engine Malfunction Warning Illuminated with FC 193208: Fuel Level Plausibility Stored in DME. The customer states that the engine malfunction warning lamp is illuminated, and while filling the fuel tank, the fuel gauge did not show the proper fill level. After the vehicle is driven a short distance, the fuel gauge will update to full. When diagnosed, the following fault is stored in the DME: ? FC 193208 Fuel level, plausibility: deviation between consumption and level change Please proceed to the Procedure section. Vehicles with option 610 \(Head\-Up Display\) are not affected. Please follow the ISTA/D test plan for the applicable faults stored in the DME, including the one listed in this bulletin. CAUSE A software error in the instrument cluster causes the fuel gauge to incorrectly update while refilling. The error occurs when the vehicle is powered up after refilling.
- [B011218](/bulletins/10152287.md), 2018-12-17, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. ?N63T CRANKCASE VENTILATION LINES: LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILEAGE. For the eligible vehicles, BMW of North America, LLC \(?BMW NA?\) is extending the limited warranty for the engine Crankcase Ventilation Lines to: 10 years/120,000 miles as determined by the vehicle?s original in\-service date Note: This bulletin is notice of a ?limited warranty extension.? This is NOT a notice of a Recall or Service Action. There is no immediate repair required unless the BMW vehicle is currently experiencing this problem. Customer Notification Letter Even though this is NOT a Recall, BMW NA sent VIN\-specific customer notification letters in a phased release.
- [MC35742107](/bulletins/10151351.md), 2018-12-10, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Loss of coolant from expansion tank. Coolant escapesfrom the expansion tank. Construction design of the expansion tank and breather cap.
- [MC1100116](/bulletins/10151350.md), 2018-12-10, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Coolant pump drain hose. Details The coolant pump is fitted with a radial shaft seal on the oil\-side and on the coolant\-side is a mechanical seal. Mechanical seals are reliable an durable, yet for technical reasons, they always exhibit minor seepage. The seepage amount is considered to be within permissible limits if the coolant does not need to be topped up between service intervals. The drain hole \(arrow in the figure\) of the coolant pump is in plain view. Even small, inevitable seepage is noticed and often perceived to be a faulty coolant pump. In many such cases, fault\-free coolant pumps are replaced. In order to reduce misdiagnosis and repeat repairs, a drain hose is retrofitted. The hose diverts the seepage away from the field of view to under the engine. Yet large amounts of leakage that indicate a faulty coolant pump will be noticed.
- [B320616](/bulletins/10151312.md), 2018-12-10, Service bulletin: STEERING. Troubleshooting intermittent Steering Assistance with Electric Power Steering \(EPS\). Intermittent steering assistance failure CAUSE The power supply of the EPS control unit.
- [B840715](/bulletins/10151206.md), 2018-12-10, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. SOS Malfunction Is Displayed In Kombi Sporadically. After engine start\-up, a CCM \(Check Control Message\) for SOS malfunction is displayed in the Kombi and in the CID \(Central Information Display\). One or more of the fault codes below may be stored in the TCB or Combox control unit: 0xB7F32B \- GSM Antenna: Open Circuit 0xB7F31F \- GSM Antenna: Short to ground 0xB7F31E \- GSM Antenna: Open Circuit A signal error is identified during the aerial self\-test performed by the TCB \(Telematic Control Box or the Combox\).
- [B111117](/bulletins/10149961.md), 2018-12-03, Service bulletin: ENGINE. ?ENGINE LEAK DIAGNOSIS ON TURBOCHARGED V8 ENGINES. When diagnosing an engine oil leak or a coolant leak on turbocharged V8 engines it is necessary to use a borescope to identify if the source of the leak is from under the turbochargers. Engine oil or coolant leaking from the bell housing area or the front timing chain cover area may be caused by the turbocharger itself, a turbocharger oil/coolant feed line or turbocharger oil/coolant return line. Do not remove the transmission and do not dissemble the engine before performing this inspection. If necessary, use engine oil leakage detection dye.
- [B110113](/bulletins/10149564.md), 2018-11-26, Service bulletin: ENGINE. N63 AND N63T ENGINE: ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, ENGINE OIL TOP\-UPS AND REFILL CAPACITY. Customers with one of the vehicles above may complain that the engine's oil consumption is "too high," resulting in engine oil top\-ups and workshop visits to address the issue before the vehicle displays an engine oil service as being "due." When the vehicle's engine oil drops to the minimum level, a message will display in the vehicle advising the driver to "add 1 quart of engine oil." After topping up and continued operation, the "add engine oil" message may display again before an engine oil service is required and performed. CAUSE Engines that are fitted with a turbocharger, as part of their normal operation, will consume engine oil at a higher rate than a naturally aspirated engine \(non\-turbocharged engine\). In this case, a "turbocharged" engine could require topping up of the engine oil more frequently.
