<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x5/">X5</a> SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.<br />
<br />
According to the bulletin issued by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa/">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a>, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.<br />

BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge.
