Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number
444. After the vehicle has been checked, and corrected
if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-278) and:
a. emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
b. punch out code number 444 (2) printed on the label and,
c. affix the label to the B pillar as shown.
If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.
