What this recall means for you
The interior trunk release cable may have been improperly installed, which can keep the trunk from opening from the inside. This means the vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for internal trunk releases.
If someone is inside the trunk and cannot open it, they may be unable to get out, which increases the risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the interior trunk release cable and properly install it if needed, at no cost to you. Owners can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417, and you can check your VIN for any open recalls.
