- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V202000
- Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC
- Reported: 2014\-04\-17
- Owners notified: 2014\-06\-13
- Component: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
- Units potentially affected: 6400

## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

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 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.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
