NHTSA campaign 16V683000 · 3,606 vehicles affected

Defect

BMW of North America, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2015 BMW X3 sDrive28i, X3 xDrive28i, X3 xDrive35i, X3 xDrive28d, X4 xDrive28i and X4 xDrive35i vehicles, and model year 2014-2015 X5 xDrive35i, X5 sDrive35i, X5 xDrive50i, and 2014 X5 xDrive35d vehicles. The affected vehicles have a driver's frontal air bag inflator that may have been improperly welded.

Consequence

Corrective Action

NHTSA campaign 14V202000 · 6,400 vehicles affected

Defect

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2014 X5 SAV vehicles manufactured December 12, 2013, through March 10, 2014, and 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.

Consequence

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.

Corrective Action

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear side door locks and any affected door locks will be replaced, free of charge. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants and Your Vehicle

NHTSA recall information identifies four safety recalls for the 2014 BMW X5. An EGR cooler leak in certain diesel vehicles may allow soot and coolant to create high-temperature conditions that can melt the intake manifold and increase fire risk. Air bag defects may cause an inflator housing to separate or a Head Protection System air bag to inflate insufficiently during a crash, increasing the possibility of serious injury. On certain vehicles with Soft Close Automatic, a rear child safety lock may disengage, allowing a door to open unexpectedly. Waiting can leave these risks unresolved, so check your VIN and arrange the free remedy promptly.
