SUBJECT

Service Action: Replace Rear Lamps, or Replace Rear Lamp Seals

MODEL

E82, E88 (1 Series) up to October 12, 2009

SITUATION

The seals on the rear lamps emit a gas that causes damage to the electrical connectors on the LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) inside the rear lamp. In

some cases, the LEDs become inoperative.

CAUSE

Unsuitable seal material

AFFECTED VEHICLES

This Service Action involves E82 and E88 (1 Series) vehicles which were produced from August 20, 2007 to October 12, 2009.

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 564. If code number 564 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 564 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.

CORRECTION

Inspect both rear lamps and, depending on the result, replace the seals or the lamps on both sides of the vehicle.

PROCEDURE

2010-2020 BMW 135i Convertible (E88) L6-3.0L Turbo (N54) Page 418

Turn on the vehicle exterior lighting and check if the tail lights in both rear lamps are functioning correctly.

If both tail lights are working, replace the seals on both rear lamps (a total of 4 seals). Before installing the new seals, fully remove the original seals

and be sure that residue does not fall into the rear light. Refer to Repair Instruction REP 63 21101 "Replace sealing frame for rear light on the left or

right".

No further work is necessary.

If one or both tail lights are inoperative, replace both of the rear lamps (always replace both, even if only one tail light has failed). Refer to Repair

Instruction REP 63 21180 "Remove and refit/replace the rear light on the left or right".

[NEW] All lamps are to be retained intact by the dealer, awaiting either:

1. A parts return request to send parts to BMW

2. An indication to scrap the parts based on information provided in the dealer's scrap report, at which time the parts are to be destroyed to prevent

reuse.

PARTS INFORMATION

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS

This Service Action has been assigned code number 564. Afier the vehicle has been checked and/or corrected, obtain a label (SD 92-380) and:

A. Emboss your BMW center warranty number in the middle of the label (1);

B. Punch out code number 564 (2), printed on the label; and

C. Affix the label to the B-pillar as shown.

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.
