Reported: 2012-10-17 (October 17, 2012)
BMW is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 7-Series vehicles, equipped with the Comfort Access option, and manufactured August 23, 2004, through July 24, 2008. The affected vehicles have an electronic key and an electronic connection between the gear shifter and the transmission (shift-by-wire) that automatically shifts the transmission to Park when the driver presses the Start/Stop button to shutdown the engine. If the driver presses the engine Start/Stop button 2 or 3 times within a short time interval, the system may shift the transmission to Neutral rather than Park. If using the electronic key (Comfort Access mode), there would be no protection from the ignition interlock that prevents key removal if the vehicle is not in Park.
Consequence: If the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in Neutral and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may rollaway. Unattended rollaway incidents often result in a crash or cause injury to pedestrians attempting to stop or enter the vehicle or to other bystanders in the path of the vehicle.
Remedy: BMW will notify owners beginning in November 2012. The remedy became available in March 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].
BMW is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 7-Series vehicles, equipped with both Comfort Access and Soft Close Automatic options, and manufactured August 23, 2004, through September 3, 2007. Due to a software problem, the doors may appear to be closed and latched, but, in fact, may inadvertently open.
Consequence: The door may unexpectedly open due to road or driving conditions or occupant contact with the door. The sudden opening may result in occupant ejection or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: BMW will notify owners and dealers will update software. The recall began on December 12, 2012. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].
BMW of North America LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi sedans and 325xi sports wagons, model year 2007 328i, 328xi, 335i, 335xi sedans and 328i and 328xi sports wagons, model year 2006-2007 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i sedans and 530xi sports wagons, model year 2006 760i sedans, model year 2006-2007 750i, 750Li, and 760Li sedans, and model year 2006 X5 sports activity vehicles, equipped with certain seat types. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure.
Consequence: Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Remedy: BMW will notify owners with an interim notification letter in January 2014 since parts are not currently available. When parts are available, BMW sent a second letter in August and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. Additionally, owners of model year 2006-2007 3 Series with standard seats, 5 Series with comfort seats, and Z4 models, will receive an extended warranty on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat. Owners may contact BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2005-2008 745i, 745Li, 750i, 750Li, 760i, 760Li, and B7 Alpina vehicles equipped with both the Comfort Access and Soft Close Automatic options. In these vehicles, the doors may appear to be closed and latched, but, in fact, may inadvertently open.
Consequence: The door may unexpectedly open due to road or driving conditions or occupant contact with the door. The sudden opening may result in occupant ejection or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will update the door latch system, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2018. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].

Vehicle brakes gave out while driving and would not stop. System generated an email of the incident from manufacturer. Dealership informed that they have seen this before and its is a simple fix with a brake booster but no recalls are currently recalling the vehicle. The warning appeared as it happened.
Multiple Brake system failures rendering the vehicle unsafe and undriveable. Been in the dealer 3 times and not resolved. Qualifies as a Lemon vehicle. Car is not safe for my family and others on the road. Car was from BMW Sterling in Virginia. 100 miles on the clock - new vehicle lease.
The contact owns a 2023 BMW 760I. The contact was notified of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V104000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Service Brakes) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

BMW issued a recall for several series including the BMW 760i x drive citing missing parts to the braking system which could cause the emergency braking and brakes to fail. The recall was issued 10 months ago. This was before I purchased the car. I did not receive a recall notice until a month ago. They did not disclose the recall at the time of the sale of the vehicle. I drove the car for 5 months before being notified. Before I received the recall notice I noticed some issues with the braking taking longer to stop. I then received the r…

The contact owns a 2023 BMW 760I. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to slow the vehicle, upon attempting to depress the brake pedal, the contact became aware that the brake pedal was stiff and stuck in position. After which, the message "Drive Carefully; Braking System Failure" was displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle came to a complete stop independently after the Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking system was activated. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but …

THERE IS NO PHYSICAL USER MANUAL IN THE VEHICLE AND WHEN THE DASH SCREENS TURN BLANK (HAPPENS REGULARLY), THE ONLINE VERSION IS NOT ACCESSIBLE IN THE VEHICLE. THE BMW APP ONLY WORKS WHERE THERE IS NETWORK COVERAGE SO THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION EITHER. THE DEALER CANNOT ORDER A USER MANUAL BECAUSE THE OEM, BMW, HAS NOT RELEASED IT. BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISES THAT THEY ONLY HAVE ONLINE VERSIONS. ISN'T THE PHYSICAL AVAILABILITY OF A USER MANUAL A REQUIREMENT ? WILLING TO PAY FOR IT, BUT THE OEM DOESN'T EVEN SELL ONE.
