SUBJECT
Service Action: Programming Control Units - Transmission Control
MODEL
X5 4.8i and X5 3.0si from SOP to 12/22/2006
SITUATION
A warning gong will sound or a warning is displayed in the instrument cluster if the driver's door is opened with a drive position selected.
If the driver were to leave the vehicle with the engine running and drive position "D" or "R" selected, the automatic transmission would automatically shift into park position "P". If the vehicle is not already secured by the parking brake in this situation, there is a possibility that the vehicle could move forward or backward a few feet until the parking lock engages.
This Service Action will shorten the response time of this function. Customers will be mailed letters notifying them of the Service Action shortly (copy of the customer letter is shown in this bulletin).
To minimize customer's inconvenience caused by this Service Action, you are being asked to pickup (and deliver after repair), if necessary, the affected vehicle from customer's home, and provide appropriate alternative transportation.
Customers will be impressed when you return their cars cleaned inside and out and with a full tank of gas. Reimbursement information for the vehicle fueling and valet costs can be found in the Warranty portion of this bulletin.

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
