What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

What Happened

The shift-by-wire system in your 7-Series is a computer-controlled gear shifter that helps you park your car. In some 2005-2008 models, this system can malfunction and shift the transmission to Neutral instead of Park if you press the Start/Stop button too quickly.

Risk if Unfixed

If you exit your vehicle with the transmission in Neutral and the parking brake off, your car could roll away. This is especially dangerous as it could crash or injure people trying to stop or enter your vehicle.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will fix the issue for free, and you should contact them to schedule the repair as soon as you receive the notification.
