宝马将在美国市场上召回4.5万辆以上的2005-2008款7系列轿车，原因是这些汽车的车门可能会在车辆行驶期间意外敞开。根据美国NHTSA，也就是美国高速公路安全管理局指出，他们已经接到很多宝马7系车主投诉，表示车辆车门在锁好的情况下会在行驶中突然打开，所涉及车型涵盖745i, 745Li, 750i, 750Li, 760i, 760Li, 以及B7 Alpina。 此次召回的车辆当中都安装了“Comfort Access(利便进入)”或“Soft Close Automatic(自动关闭软件)”，但车辆在行驶过程中依旧会无端打开或无法关闭。宝马4月与NHTSA讨论了顾客投诉，5月份决定召回存在自动开门的7系车。由于宝马仍未研究出解决方案，因此此次涉及召回的45484辆车在5月底前不会被召回。当可以开始修复故障时，消费者可以通过电邮与宝马服务中心联系修理事宜。目前，车门自动打开故障还未造成人员受伤。
BMW Recalls 45,000 7 Series Sedans Because Doors Could Fly Open
BMW has announced a new recall that will affect certain 7 Series models produced between 2005 and 2008. The reason – the doors of those cars may appear to be closed and locked.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that the Bavarian manufacturer will inspect the BMW 745i, 745Li, 750i, 750Li, 760i, 760Li, and B7 Alpina models, equipped with the Comfort Access or Soft Close Automatic features. BMW met with NHTSA agents in April to discuss the complaints received from customers and decided to issue a recall in May.
The campaign for the 45,484 affected cars probably won’t start before the end of the month, as BMW still hasn’t developed a solution for the problem. When a fix is available, customers will be contacted through email to make an appointment with a BMW service center. No injuries related to the defect have been reported so far.
