Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA reports two recalls for the 2016 BMW M5. The Air Bag campaign involves seat-mounted side air bags that may not deploy if an inflator initiator fails to ignite, increasing injury risk in a crash. The Seat campaign involves a left-rear child-restraint lower anchor that may be bent downward, preventing a child seat from fully engaging both lower anchors and increasing the risk of injury to a child. Waiting can leave these safety concerns unresolved. A free VIN check can clarify whether the remedy remains open, even if the vehicle has never displayed a warning or the previous owner said recall work was completed.
