The 2005 BMW 760i has 2 recalls, both addressing the same door latch issue: on vehicles equipped with both the Comfort Access and Soft Close Automatic options, doors can appear fully closed while remaining unlatched and may swing open while driving.
The latch system gives no clear indication that the door has not fully engaged, so occupants may not realize the door is unsecured. Road vibration, a bump, or contact with the door can cause it to open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion.
