## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2022\-2024 X3 sDrive30i and X3 xDrive30i vehicles.  The second\-row seat side door locking modules may not function properly and allow the doors to be unlocked with a single motion.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."


## What can happen

Doors that can be inadvertently unlocked and unlatched may open unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to rear seat occupants.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the second\-row seat side door locking modules, free of charge.  A letter informing owners of the safety risk was mailed on April 21, 2025.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 800\-525\-7417.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 888\-275\-9171\) or go to nhtsa.gov.
