BMW service campaign B170324
BMW filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Jun 7, 2024, received May 3, 2024, about the engine — 3 documents under this number. It names 12 model years (2018–2022). 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.
