2006 BMW X5 Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 05V504000 on 11/02/2005
- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/2005 - 09/29/2005
- Affected:
- 240
- Defect:
- Certain passenger vehicles may have been built with an incorrectly manufactured automatic transmission parking pawl guide plate.
- Consequence:
- This could cause the parking lock system not to engage, after the transmission is placed in the park ("p") position. if the vehicle was parked on an incline, and the parking brake was not engaged, this could result in a vehicle rollaway condition.
- Correction:
- Dealers will repair and replace the automatic transmission guide plate free of charge. the recall began on november 30, 2005. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-332-4269.
- Notes:
- Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

- Consequence:
- Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.
- Correction:
- Bmw will notify owners with an interim notification letter in january 2014 since parts are not currently available. when parts are available, bmw sent a second letter in august and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, free of charge. additionally, owners of model year 2006-2007 3 series with standard seats, 5 series with comfort seats, and z4 models, will receive an extended warranty on their front passenger seat occupant detection mat. owners may contact bmw customer relations at 1-800-525-7417 or email bmw at customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
