Este vorba despre un recall mai vechi, insa acum este disponibil softul necesar, incepand cu ISTA P 2.49


From factory, the 7 Series luxury sedan is designed to automatically put the car in park mode when the driver presses the Stop/Start button to shut off the engine. But as discovered, if the driver pushes the two button two or three times in a quick succession, the car may shift to neutral instead.

“If the driver presses the engine start/stop button two or three times within a short interval, the system may shift the transmission to Neutral rather than Park,” said NHTSA. “If using the electronic key, there would be no protection from the ignition interlock that prevents key removal if the vehicle is not in Park.

“If the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in Neutral and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away. Unattended rollaway incidents often result in a crash or cause injury to pedestrians attempting to stop or enter the vehicle or to other bystanders in the path of the vehicle.

BMW will notify owners beginning in November but will not have revised software available to fix the vehicles until March.
