LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Safety Recalls

Standard NHTSA Filing #17V328000 Plain English
Component

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your door's latch system is a mechanism that keeps your doors securely closed. In some 2005-2008 BMW models, this system can malfunction and make the doors seem closed when they're not.
Risk if Unfixed
If the latch fails, your door could open unexpectedly while driving or while you're a passenger. This could lead to you or someone else being thrown out of the vehicle or injured in a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the door latch system to ensure your doors stay securely closed – at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification, and you should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as possible. This timing describes the original 2017 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
