Important Parts Bulletin: TEC705
BMW AG has issued Parts Bulletin TEC705, a critical communication for dealers regarding specific wastegate valve actuators. This bulletin mandates the inspection and return of a particular part number, 11 65 5 A34 712, to ensure only correct components are used in vehicles. This 2024 BMW X5 manufacturer_communication is vital for maintaining vehicle quality and performance.
Identifying Affected Parts
The core of BMW Parts Bulletin TEC705 lies in distinguishing between correct and incorrect wastegate valve actuators based on their safety clips. Parts containing silver safety clips are identified as incorrect and must be returned. In contrast, parts equipped with black safety clips are deemed acceptable for use. This visual distinction is crucial for technicians to identify the affected components accurately.
Specifically, the bulletin illustrates the difference:
- Affected Parts (NOT OK): Feature a "silver safety clip" (labeled "Alter Sicherungsring = silber").
- Non Affected Parts (OK): Feature a "black safety clip" (labeled "Neuer Sicherungsring = schwarz").
Dealer Action Required
Dealers are instructed to return all affected parts to their Regional Distribution Center (RDC). The return process requires submitting a YR26 damage claim with the order reason BM2. It is mandatory to include a valid BMW delivery and delivery item number, and the bulletin number TEC705 must be explicitly stated in the text of the TEC claim. If delivery numbers cannot be located, dealers must submit an IDS ticket to Parts Logistics for assistance.
Important Warnings
BMW Parts Bulletin TEC705 includes a critical directive: "Affected available inventory must not be sold." This emphasizes the importance of preventing incorrect parts from reaching customers or being installed in vehicles. This ensures that all 2024 BMW X5 and other affected models receive only approved components, upholding BMW's quality standards.
Deadlines and Reordering
This TEC705 bulletin is valid for returns from November 27, 2024, through December 11, 2024. The deadline for filing a claim under TEC705 is December 11, 2024. All affected parts must be returned to the RDC no later than December 25, 2024. Dealers are advised to reorder the same part number if needed, ensuring they receive parts with the correct black safety clips.
What Owners Should Know
While this bulletin is primarily for dealers, owners of a 2024 BMW X5 or other affected models should be aware that BMW is proactively managing its parts inventory to ensure quality. If your vehicle requires a wastegate valve actuator replacement, this bulletin ensures that only correctly specified parts will be installed. This attention to detail helps prevent potential issues related to incorrect components.
