What Happened
The door latches in your vehicle are designed to keep your doors closed and safe. In certain 2005-2008 BMW models, these latches can malfunction, making it seem like your doors are closed when they're not.
Risk if Unfixed
If the latch fails, your door could open unexpectedly while you're driving or even when you're stopped. This could cause an occupant to be ejected or increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the door latch system to ensure it works properly, and this repair is completely free. You'll be notified when the recall begins, but you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
