Vehicle-Specific Recall Note
NHTSA campaign 94V017000 involves the power window devices and controls on certain 1994 BMW 840Ci models. The remote activation device may close windows and the sunroof from a distance greater than the six meters permitted by FMVSS No. 118. This non-compliance could allow windows or sunroofs to be closed on an individual's arm or neck if the operator is not in the immediate vicinity. The remedy involves replacing the inside rearview mirror containing the activation receiver with one that controls door locking and the theft alarm but does not permit remote operation of the windows and sunroof. A VIN-level recall check is required to determine whether a specific vehicle is affected or still has an unrepaired recall.
Engine Oil Notes
Confirm any applicable vehicle-manufacturer requirements before ordering oil or servicing the vehicle.
