2006 BMW 750I — Complaint #2151508
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HANDLE:EXTERIOR filed November 24, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2151508 (ODI reference 11701249) concerns a 2006 BMW 750I and was filed on November 24, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 24, 2024. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:door:handle:exterior, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same BMW 750I cohort independently describe similar structure:body:door:handle:exterior failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 BMW 750I shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2006 BMW 750I. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V328000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The contact stated that the passenger's side rear door had failed to function as intended and failed to open. Additionally, the handle on the driver's side rear door intermittently failed to function as intended and required to be hit to function as intended. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to perform the recall repair because the door latch system on the vehicle was old. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
