2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks
BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built
between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014. From AB Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: 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. REMEDY: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear side door locks and any affected door locks will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2014. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. View the attachments for this post at: http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.p...4320#288834320 |
