2024 BMW X1 Output Drive Repair Kit Inspection (TEC760)

BMW has released Parts Bulletin C32-0525-0631, identified as TEC760, to address a potential issue with the Output Drive Repair Kit, part number 27 10 8 681 581. This bulletin is primarily directed at BMW parts departments, urging them to inspect their inventory. The goal is to ensure that all kits in stock are complete and meet quality standards, which is crucial for any repair involving the 2024 BMW X1 output drive repair kit.

The Incomplete Output Drive Repair Kit

Some Output Drive Repair Kits, specifically part number 27 10 8 681 581, have been found to be incomplete. The correct kit, labeled "i.O. Satz mit Wellendichtring" (in order, set with shaft seal ring), should contain four distinct items. However, some kits, marked "n.i.O." (not in order), are missing one component, containing only three items.

This discrepancy means that an incomplete kit would not allow for a proper repair if used. BMW AG has requested this inspection to prevent the distribution and use of these faulty kits.

Affected Part Number

The specific part number subject to this bulletin is:

• 27 10 8 681 581 (Output Drive Repair Kit)

Action Required for Parts Departments

BMW parts departments are instructed to immediately inspect their stock of Output Drive Repair Kits. Any kits found to contain only three items, rather than the complete set of four, must be returned. The return process requires submitting a YR26 damage claim with the order reason BM2. It is essential to include a valid BMW delivery and delivery item number in the claim.

Furthermore, the bulletin number TEC760 must be clearly stated in the text of the TEC claim. If a delivery number cannot be located, assistance can be obtained by submitting an IDS ticket to Parts Logistics under Returns > Claims > Quality > Claims.
