If you encounter a vehicle outside of the production range of the Service Action that requires an engine temperature sensor retrofit (with Bosch HPP), the HPP must be loosened from the cylinder head, and temporarily moved away to fit the screw-in temperature sensor P/N 8 603 908. When the sensor is fully seated into the thermostat housing, the HPP can be reinstalled. An improved repair is under development and will be available in the near future.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10149463-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10149463-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10149463","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"K SERIES","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
