What This Recall Means

Component

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

What Happened
The latches on your 7-Series doors have a software glitch. This means that even if you think your doors are closed, they might not be.
Risk if Unfixed
If your door opens unexpectedly while driving, you or a passenger could be thrown out of the vehicle. This could lead to serious injury or make you more likely to get hurt in a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the software controlling your doors. This repair is free, and you'll be notified when the update is ready.

Affected Vehicles
