LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LOCK

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."

Fix: 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.

While turning left at 20 mph, your car's rear passenger-side door unexpectedly opened while a child in a car seat was sitting there. You heard a warning chime and saw an alert on your dashboard. You immediately pulled over and closed the door. You discovered this issue is related to a known BMW recall about door latches, but your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall, so it wasn't repaired. The door latch mechanism may need inspection or replacement to ensure it properly secures.
