This may inhibit the movement of one or both of the fuel level sensors.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2012/MC-10150321-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2012/MC-10150321-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10150321","components":[{"id":"fuel-system","name":"Fuel system","parent":null},{"id":"fuel-tank","name":"Fuel tank","parent":"fuel-system"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"X5","year_from":2007,"year_to":2010,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_bmw_x5","2008_bmw_x5","2009_bmw_x5","2010_bmw_x5"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X5","year_from":2013,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_bmw_x5"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X5 M","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X6","year_from":2008,"year_to":2010,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2008_bmw_x6","2009_bmw_x6","2010_bmw_x6"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X6","year_from":2013,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2013_bmw_x6"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X6 M","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
