Air Flaps extended warranty

Abuzaiedmd · 01-13-2023, 06:06 AM

Hi everyone
I have a check engine light on due to active air falps failure. I found SIB 01 04 21 issued by BMW about this common issue. My local dealer refused to cover repair costs. I was told this sib not valid on our country.
Any opinions?

To be fair, the doc you reference does say "BMW of North America, LLC ... is extending the limited warranty ..."

If your warranty is covered by BMW NA, then you should be covered. Otherwise, it's probably up to the BMW entity in your country. If you have a consumer protection body in your country, it may be worth it to try and get them involved. Show them that BMW has identified the flaps as troublesome and BMW NA extended the warranty on them. Could be helpful if BMW in other countries have increased warranty coverage as well and you provide that info, too...but I've got no info there.
