It names 4 model years (2024–2025).

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationWhat it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.
BMW AG has decided on a service campaign for certain vehicles from the G2x series. Please have the Integrated Fuel Module control unit (IFM) programmed in the vehicles concerned(according to the vehicle identification number selection), if possible, before vehicle delivery. If vehicles have already been delivered, have the measure carried out the next time the vehicles enter theworkshop.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is BMW 0016890200 a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 0016890200 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 0016890200 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 4 model years: 2025 BMW 3 Series, 2024 BMW 3 Series, 2025 BMW 4 Series, 2024 BMW 4 Series. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: G20 3 Series Sedan: built 27 Oct 2023 – 28 Mar 2025; G22 4 Series Coupe: built 14 Jun 2023 – 12 Mar 2025; G23 4 Series Convertible: built 30 May 2023 – 12 Mar 2025 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
