Default 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.

Default 2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks

This is a serious one, only last week there was this report of a child's
death after falling out of a Toyota Yaris, although in this case there
appeared to have been no fault in the vehicle: -
