SUBJECT:
Air Conditioning System Noise Questionnaire

MODELS:
All vehicles

Situation:

A substantial number of compressors returned under warranty were replaced on the basis of a noise complaint. Upon testing and inspection very few of these units produced an audible noise or had failed components.

In an effort to identify the true cause(s) of customer noise complaints a special quality reporting program is being established. The purpose is to obtain more detailed information about the customer complaint and technician findings during the diagnostic process in order to improve existing diagnostic procedures and make product changes as necessary.

Procedure:








In the event of an Air Conditioning System related noise complaint, please fill out the questionnaire (SD 92-068). If, after proper diagnosis, the replacement of an air conditioning component should become necessary, please return a copy of the completed questionnaire with that component through the regular warranty channels.

In any case, please mail the completed questionnaires to BMW, Service Engineering. The forms are self addressed and postage prepaid.
