NHTSA recall 14V202000
Latches/Locks/Linkages · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with the soft close automatic (sca) option. The rear side door lock mechanisms may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances and when the inside door handle is pulled, the previously engaged child safety lock can disengage.
Why it matters: A disengaged child safety lock would allow the rear seat occupant to pull the door handle twice and open the door while the vehicle is parked or in motion, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear side door locks and any affected door locks will be replaced, free of charge.
