The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the body control module software. Here is what owners need to know.
During a service visit, a replacement electronic control unit (ECU) may have been installed with incorrect programming, which can cause the automatic door locking (ADL) function to not lock the doors as intended.
Doors that do not lock as intended while the vehicle is in motion may open during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the ECU software, free of charge.
