Defect description

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2023 330i, 330i xDrive, M340i, M340i xDrive, M3, 330e, 330e xDrive, 430i Convertible, 430i xDrive, M440i, 2022-2023 430i, 430i xDrive, M440i xDrive, i4 eDrive40, and i4 M50 vehicles. During a service visit, a replacement electronic control unit (ECU) may have been installed with incorrect programming, which can cause the automatic door locking (ADL) function to not lock the doors as intended.

Safety consequence

Doors that do not lock as intended while the vehicle is in motion may open during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will update the ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2023. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

Seat Belts

ODI #11745505

Incident: June 5, 2026 · Filed: June 21, 2026

Both the driver and passenger seatbelts have been replaced due to wear and shredding. Dealership has told us it was caused by the seatbelt extender “becoming delaminated” in both cases. This seems like a design flaw given the age and relatively low mileage (30,800). The more severe damage in the photograph is the driver’s side. The other is the passenger side that we proactively had replaced while the vehicle is still under its new vehicle warranty.
