The contact owns a 2008 BMW 750i. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V328000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) and was interfering with other electrical components of the vehicle such as the Navigation Panel rendering it non-responsive, the alarm system from the door latches constantly sounding and not being able to be turned off, causing the battery to drain. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was inspected however the vehicle was not diagnosed as the ECU was unresponsive. The contact was advised that a special technician would have to inspect the ECU, and would need to be repaired first before the dealer could remedy the recall, therefore the recall would not be remedied. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
