BMW service campaign 0046690000
BMW filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Mar 2, 2026, received Mar 13, 2026, about the structure — 1 document under this number: MC460126. It names 5 model years (2019–2026). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationDue to a manufacturing issue, the threaded blind holes in the windscreen adjuster for the connection of thewindscreen are not deep enough. Using the M5×20 screws supplied in the enclosed parts package from thefactory will lead to insufficient tension on the windscreen and consequently leads to a rattling noise orvibration.

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.
Model years it names

None of these model years has a page on this site (it covers EPA-certified cars, trucks and SUVs from 2016), so the bulletin is listed here on its own.
