SUBJECT
Service Action: Replace Left Rear Air Spring
MODEL
F07 (5 Series Gran Turismo)
SITUATION
Torsional stress can cause the threaded fabric of the left air spring bellow to rupture and lose its airtightness.
If the air spring is not airtight, the vehicle will lean on one side.
AFFECTED VEHICLES

First check if a Service Action label with a code number 734 is already attached to the B-pillar.
If a code number 734 has been punched out, the Campaign has already been performed and no further action
is necessary.
Vehicles which require this Service Action to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in the
"Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or with the Key Reader.
