Prompt resolution of reported problems is a major goal of this program. This can only be achieved with your
support, by providing us with information. We ask that you submit a PuMA Info Only case for every
customer complaint or problem during the new model launch time periods.
In addition, we ask that a PuMA Info Only case be submitted for every breakdown.
Digital images and scanned documents
may be attached to these reports. There
is a 10-MB file size limit.

The cases provided will aid in the evaluation of problems and/or conditions, as well as determining the
required action necessary to correct them. Please report any observations concerning vehicle quality
(including operation) made during the QC1 process, or whenever a new model is in your workshop for repairs
or scheduled maintenance.
The "Customer complaint" information in these reports is extremely important to accurately establish the
customer's perception of the condition. Please note any variables that you feel may be related to (or influence)
the condition, as well as which procedure was performed to correct the situation. In those instances where
faults are stored in the fault memory, please enter those in the fault code field located on the Attachment
screen.
As an additional incentive, each month during a new model launch, three $100 awards will be given for the
three best cases submitted, based on the clarity and detail of the information provided. The decision of the
BMW NA Technical Group is final and not subject to appeal. Cases are only eligible for one award in the
month that they were submitted. Participants will not be eligible for multiple awards within the same month.
An Early Warning Information Champion will be selected each calendar year from the previous winners and
awarded $1,000, based on the clarity and detail of the information provided. For more details on the Quality
Feedback awards, refer to SI B00 02 10.
