## What is wrong

Issue:

This recall is for certain vehicles that had the body domain controller \(BDC\) electronic control unit \(ECU\) replaced during a dealer service visit.

On certain vehicles, a programming error in the replacement BDC ECU could cause the automatic door locking function not to work. As a result, a door that is not locked could open in a severe crash.

Safety Risk:

A door that opens in a crash could increase the risk of injury.

Corrective Actions:

BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the BDC ECU. To reduce the safety risk, BMW recommends that you should manually lock all doors before each trip until the recall repairs have been completed.
