SUBJECT
Service Action to Replace Trunk Switch
MODEL
B65 (7 Series) Vehicles produced September 3, 2001 - December 14, 2001
SITUATION
The trunk lid button may leak, allowing moisture onto the switch contacts. This situation may cause the trunk lid to open without the button being pressed. In this case, a warning light will illuminate on the instrument cluster when the ignition is on. The situation will not occur if the vehicle is locked.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves E65 (7 Series) vehicles produced between September 3, 2001 and December 14, 2001.
In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the DCS (Dealer Communication System). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
The Chassis Number Ranges listed below are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor.
Replace the trunk switch with one with date stamp 37/01 or later. Stocks of suspect switches have been cleared from parts stock.
Refer to repair instruction RA 61 31 246 for installation instructions.
PARTS INFORMATION
[NEW] Orders for parts specified may be placed as a VOR or stock order. Please place the VIN number in the comment field of your DCS order. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VIN NOT BE USED AS THE P.O. NUMBER. THIS WILL PREVENT USING THE VIN AGAIN FOR SUBSEQUENT VIN SPECIFIC ORDERS. Additional Service Actions will affect many of the vehicles involved in this Service Action. ONLY ORDERS WITH A VIN WILL BE RELEASED. ALL OTHER ORDERS WILL BE CANCELLED.
This Service Action has been assigned code number 328. Afier the vehicle has been checked, and corrected if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-180) and:
a. emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
b. punch out code number 328 printed on the label and,
c. affix the label to the B pillar as shown.
Note:
If this Service Action is being carried out at the same time as a Recall, or other Service Action, please maximize the use of each service action label by punching out the number(s) of all campaigns being performed on the same label. This will keep the "B" pillar as neat and uncluttered as possible
If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Reimbursement for this Service Action will be via Campaign Entry.
