BMW TSBs or whatever BMW calls them

MissVito · 10-26-2023, 08:37 AM

How can the consumer get BMW TSBs? I know there's a sticky for training documents, but I'm looking for the reported problems and fixes. BMW has been secretive about them. They should be publicly available. Thanks

I don't know where to get them but agree with you that they should be easily available.

Don’t know that you can get all TSBs but you can get anything pertinent to your vehicle.

I'm not sure any site has all of them. TSB Search and NHTSA has many of them. On the NHTSA site you look for Manufacturer Communication after finding a vehicle.

FWIW, I filed report with the NHTSA about the knee airbag lacerating my left leg and a deep scrape on the right. I'm also going to report it to BMW. Knee airbags have been an issue with other cars too. Not sure if it deployed correctly. If it wasn't for that I'd be practically unscathed except for seatbelt bruises. I have months of wound care doctor visits ahead of me. (If you have your foot on the dead foot pedal the airbag will likely cut you.)
