Professional repair can ensure that the cause of damage is remedied, and not merely the perceived symptoms. If a wiring harness is replaced because of chafing, wire breaks, etc., the problems can return in the course of time. Information relating to the cause of the fault is a great help to our efforts to further improve the quality of the vehicles over time. In this way design features can be implemented to eliminate faults and production can be optimized.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10148156-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10148156-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10148156","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"R 1200 C","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
