Chronology :
In May 2022, a complaint was received pertaining to the functionality of the Automatic Door Locking (ADL) feature. A review found that a warranty claim had been processed involving replacement of the Body Domain Controller (BDC) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) on a Model Year 2022 BMW 4 Series.
During the latter half of 2022, additional warranty claims involving BDC ECU replacement were received and processed. As additional claims occurred, it was suggested that an analysis be undertaken to determine if BDC ECU replacement affected ADL functionality. By the end of 2022, approximately 27 claims involving ADL functionality became known.
In early 2023, an engineering review was initiated to understand if the BDC ECU warranty claims related to ADL functionality might have an effect upon vehicle performance in a crash. A review of regulatory requirements was performed. A review of test results indicated that FMVSS 214 requirements were met. The engineering review indicated that, in certain severe crashes, it could be possible for an unlocked door to open subsequent to the crash impact event.
Vehicle assembly information and dealer service records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.
On February 15, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.

Please make sure you check your dealer inventory as soon as possible. You can see a list of affected vehicles in Inventory Campaign Details (ICD) under ROSS. SITUATION BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective February 23, 2023) on certain Model Year 2022 – 2023 BMW vehicles that were produced between September 8, 2021 and December 2, 2022. During a BMW center service visit in which the Body Domain Controller (BDC) was replaced, a necessary vehicle programming and coding update may not have occurred. If this happened, the Automatic Door Lock (ADL) function would no longer be set to “default on”. This could lead to an unlocked door condition which, in certain severe crashes, could allow a door to open. The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information. CAUSE As part of a service visit, a new Body Domain Controller (BDC) control unit was installed on the affected vehicles. As a result, the “Lock after starting to drive” function may not have been activated again and is therefore no longer available. CORRECTION Perform a vehicle data reset through the Central information display (CID). Note: Programming of the control unit is not required for this repair PROCEDURE Perform a short test drive to check the “Lock after starting to drive” function. This automatically locks the vehicle doors at a speed of 10 mph or more. If the function is currently active, everything is in order and the technical action has been completed.

Production Dates : JUL 13, 2022 – JUL 13, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : This safety recall involves Body Domain Controller (BDC) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) replacement parts that may have been installed, on vehicles of a specific engineering release and production configuration, during a dealer service visit. The BDC ECU controls the Automatic Door Locking (ADL) function. Vehicles subject to this recall were correctly produced, in which the ADL function is set to “default on” (door are automatically locked when the vehicle begins to accelerate from rest), and, the doors can only be unlocked after the vehicle comes to rest. Vehicles subject to this recall did not receive a correct programming and coding update during a dealer service visit when the BDC ECU was replaced. As a result, ADL functionality would not operate as intended, and could lead to an unlocked door condition. In certain severe crashes, it could be possible for an unlocked door to open subsequent to the crash impact event. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If a door opened subsequent to the crash impact event, this could increase the risk of injury. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : NR Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-118 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 1 : Body Domain Controller (BDC) ECU Component Description : Body Domain Controller (BDC) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Component Part Number : Software – N/A Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : BMW AG Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : In May 2022, a complaint was received pertaining to the functionality of the Automatic Door Locking (ADL) feature. A review found that a warranty claim had been processed involving replacement of the Body Domain Controller (BDC) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) on a Model Year 2022 BMW 4 Series. During the latter half of 2022, additional warranty claims involving BDC ECU replacement were received and processed. As additional claims occurred, it was suggested that an analysis be undertaken to determine if BDC ECU replacement affected ADL functionality. By the end of 2022, approximately 27 claims involving ADL functionality became known. In early 2023, an engineering review was initiated to understand if the BDC ECU warranty claims related to ADL functionality might have an effect upon vehicle performance in a crash. A review of regulatory requirements was performed. A review of test results indicated that FMVSS 214 requirements were met. The engineering review indicated that, in certain severe crashes, it could be possible for an unlocked door to open subsequent to the crash impact event. Vehicle assembly information and dealer service records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles. On February 15, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-118 Page 6 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Potentially affected vehicles will receive a programming update. Owners are planned to be notified by First Class mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized BMW dealer to have the remedy performed for free. If this condition was noticed on a potentially affected vehicle prior to this recall, the remedy would be covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program. Therefore, reimbursement for a prenotification remedy re Part 573.13 and Part 577.11 is not necessary. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Recalled Component: Body Domain Control (BDC) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) – part number – software – N/A Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : NR Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Notification to dealers is planned to begin and end on February 23, 2023. Notification to owners is planned to begin and end on April 17, 2023. Planned Dealer Notification Date : FEB 23, 2023 – FEB 23, 2023 Planned Owner Notification Date : APR 17, 2023 – APR 17, 2023 * NR – Not Reported
