2008 BMW 7 Series

On certain vehicles equipped with the Comfort Access or Comfort Access in combination with the Soft Close Automatic door latching system options, the doors may not latch correctly. As a result, doors which appear to be latched could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove the cams from the door locks and reprogram the Comfort Access System as necessary.

On certain vehicles equipped with the Comfort Access option, if the driver depresses the start-stop button multiple times in rapid succession, the transmission could shift to Neutral (N) instead of Park (P).  If the driver leaves the vehicle without engaging the parking brake, a sufficient slope could cause the vehicle to roll away.  A rollaway vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Central Gateway Control Module with updated software.

On certain vehicles, a check valve in the brake vacuum pump may leak a small amount of lubricating oil.  Over time, this could result in contamination of the brake booster.  Loss of brake power assist could occur which, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions, and driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster and master cylinder.  Additionally, the brake vacuum line (including the check valve) will be replaced to eliminate the possibility of oil reaching the brake booster.
