[ Copyright ©2017 BMW of North America, Inc. ] https://www.bmwtis.net/tiscode/cgi-bin/bulletin.aspx?sie_path=/tsb/bulletins/htm_store/4... 10/10/2018 B61 19 15 Attachment August 2017 PROCEDURE Repair procedure for I01 only. If there is a buzzing noise coming from the steering column, proceed as follows. Check the label on the coil spring cassette as shown in the picture. Refer to ISTA repair instructions “61 31 008 Removing and installing (replacing) steering column switch cluster” If the revision index is not “AI03” or the production date is earlier than “14May01”, replace the coil spring cassette. In the example in the picture, the label shows a revision index of “AI02” and a production date of “14Mar31” and must be replaced. Always inspect the label on the new part to ensure it is the updated part. Note: replace the 4 mounting bolts that secure the SZL to the steering column. (P/N 61 31 8 380 482) In order to remove the coil spring cassette from the steering column switch cluster, unclip the 2 retaining tabs to separate the two parts. Replace the coil spring cassette and install on to the steering column switch cluster. 2 Reinstall the steering column switch cluster onto the steering column and tighten the new retaining bolts in the order shown. 1 4 Tightening torque: 6 Nm 3 2 Repair procedure for F15, F16, F25 and I12 Refer to ISTA repair instructions “61 31 008 Removing and installing (replacing) steering column switch cluster” Turn the steering wheel over and clean the flange surface and then install a piece of white Teflon tape (locally sourced) to the drive flange as shown. 3 Check the coil spring cassette for a metal tab as shown. If the coil spring cassette has a tab, replace it. If the coil spring cassette does not have a metal tab continue to the next step. The updated coil spring cassette is identified by inspecting the label on the coil spring cassette. It should indicate a revision index higher than “AI02” and a production date after “14Jan20”. Check the highlighted tabs for grease as shown. If no grease is present, use 83 23 9 407 810 and put a touch of grease on the highlighted spots. Do not use any other grease or the plastic will be damaged. Reassemble the SZL and steering wheel and retest for noises.
