BMW 760LI Recalls

The BMW 760Li has 4 recalls spanning 2003 to 2015, with the most serious being a door latch defect on 2005-2008 models equipped with both Comfort Access and Soft Close Automatic, where a door that appears fully closed can swing open unexpectedly while driving. The same 2005-2008 model years with the Comfort Access option have a separate ignition-related issue: if the driver exits with the transmission in Neutral and forgets to apply the parking brake, the vehicle can roll away unattended. On the most recent production years covered here, 2013-2015 760Li vehicles can have their engine control unit programmed with incompatible software during a service visit, which can cause the engine to stall without warning and raise crash risk. Going back to the earliest year in the production run, 2003 models have an oil filter drain plug that can work loose, spraying oil and then leaking it steadily; significant oil loss from this can lead to engine damage and, depending on how that plays out, a loss of vehicle control.
