AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves F30 models which were produced from March 2012 to September 2012.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Service Action completed or is affected by this Service Action, first check the B-pillar label for code number 636. If code number 636 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 636 has not been punched out, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number 636. After the vehicle has been checked and/or corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-417) and:
