roadster675 wroteYes just learned that- dropping it off today as they have a loaner for me! The shuddering in reverse and lower speeds was quite odd and when I saw your post I knew it was the case on mine!Standard warranty is 4 yrs/50k mi.
Kobe4Ever wroteMine seemed to struggle to go into reverse after a 350 mile trip recently. I'm going to mention this to my service advisor and see if they can look into it.

roadster675 wroteWhere can I get this specific TSB?2019 X5. Last year was experiencing a slight shuddering at low speed when turning in drive or reverse. Dealer tested and confirmed and change the fluid per service bulletin SIB 20 02 20. That seemed to fix the problem.

Same procedure where they would change the differential fluid first. If the shudder issue returned they would then replace the transfer case.
Jeohn wrote$750 seems fair for a fluid change (1st Step), I just had mine done two months ago. Issue came back though after 200 miles. Had the used car vehicle dealer, I bought my car from, pay for the replacement transfercase. $6865.........Does anyone have the service bulletin data on this? My dealer is trying to charge $750
20 02 20 which calls for the replacement of the fluid. This was performed on my 2019 G05 in 2020. As I had previously posted the symptom re-appeared about a year later and the entire transfer case was replaced under warranty. I just dont have the SIB the dealer referenced for the replacement, whice was to
be implemented if the fluid change was unsuccessful. In my case the fluid change worked for about a year, and there has been no recurrence with the new transfer case after about a year and a half.
BTW, since I had moved there were two different dealers involved, (NJ & GA) and both handled the issue effortlesly. (the week with a brand new 750 loaner was cool too
