What is wrong

Certain passenger vehicles may have been built with an incorrectly manufactured automatic transmission parking pawl guide plate.

The risk

This could cause the parking lock system not to engage, after the transmission is placed in the park ("p") position. If the vehicle was parked on an incline, and the parking brake was not engaged, this could result in a vehicle rollaway condition.

The fix

Dealers will repair and replace the automatic transmission guide plate free of charge. The recall began on november 30, 2005. Owners may contact BMW at 1-[removed].

Notes from the manufacturer

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-[removed] (tty 1-[removed]), or go to [link removed]
