2015 BMW 740LXI recalls

Recall 17V-379: Exterior Lighting

Reported Jun 14, 2017 · 92 vehicles affected · BMW of North America, LLC

Problem: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2013-2015 740i, 740Li, 740Lxi, 750i, 750xi, 750Li and 750Lxi and 2014 ActiveHybrid 7 vehicles. The affected vehicles may have received incorrect replacement left rear taillight assemblies. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: Vehicles with the incorrect left rear lamp assemblies may be less conspicuous to other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any incorrect left rear taillight assemblies, free of charge. The recall began August 11, 2017. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Recent 2015 BMW 740LXI complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Unknown or Other · at 32,000 miles · reported Feb 4, 2018

Inability to open the driver door to exit the vehicle after the vehicle is stopped. I was informed that it may represent a failure of the door actuator. To be unable to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency is unacceptable. They claim that the problem can occur intermittently before complete failure and may not be detected by their diagnostics. It is not a covered part or repair despite being a safety issue in a vehicle under the orignal manufacturer warranty and likely represents an intrinsic defect in a vehicle with 32,000 miles.
