Introduction to MINI RMFD Head Unit Return Bulletin M-32-0924-M0607

MINI AG has issued a critical Parts Bulletin, M-32-0924-M0607, titled "TEC685 RMFD HEAD UNIT RETURN." This bulletin is a "TAKE ACTION" directive, indicating an urgent requirement for dealers to return specific remanufactured (RMFD) head unit part numbers. While issued by MINI, this action impacts 2025 BMW X1 and X2 models, highlighting the interconnectedness of parts supply within the BMW Group.

This directive ensures that potentially affected parts are removed from inventory and returned for processing. The MINI RMFD head unit return is a proactive measure to manage parts quality and inventory.

Affected RMFD Head Unit Part Numbers

MINI AG has requested the return of the following specific RMFD head unit part numbers:

• 65 12 5 B41 FC7
• 65 12 5 B41 FC8
• 65 12 5 B41 FD1
• 65 12 5 B41 FD2
• 65 12 5 B41 FD3
• 65 12 5 B41 FC9

These part numbers are central to the MINI RMFD head unit return campaign, and dealers must identify and segregate them from their current stock.

Critical Directives for Inventory

Dealers and parts departments must adhere to two crucial instructions outlined in Bulletin M-32-0924-M0607:

• "Affected inventory must not be sold."
• "Concerned are all parts delivered and shipped so far."

These directives emphasize the importance of preventing any further distribution or sale of these specific head units. This ensures that only compliant parts are used for repairs or new vehicle installations, maintaining quality standards and preventing potential issues.

Procedure for Returning Affected Parts

To return the affected part(s), dealers must send them to their facing Regional Distribution Center (RDC). The return process requires submitting a YR26 damage claim, using the order reason code BM2. It is essential to include a valid MINI delivery and delivery item number in the claim.

Furthermore, the bulletin explicitly states that the code TEC685 must appear in the text of your TEC claim. If a valid delivery number cannot be located, assistance can be obtained by submitting an IDS Ticket. This ticket should be directed to Parts Logistics>Returns>Claims>Quality>Claims for guidance.

Important Deadlines for TEC685 Claims and Returns

The TEC685 return action is valid for a specific period. It commenced on September 13, 2024, and concludes on September 27, 2024. The deadline for filing a claim under TEC685 is also September 27, 2024. All affected parts must be physically returned to the dealer's facing RDC no later than October 11, 2024. Adhering to these deadlines is critical for proper processing and compliance with the MINI RMFD head unit return program.

Obtaining Replacement Part Numbers

For information regarding replacement part numbers, dealers are instructed to refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (ETK). The ETK provides up-to-date information on available parts and their corresponding numbers.
