Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Concerns Matter

NHTSA recall information identifies seven safety recalls for the 2019 BMW X3 involving the backup camera, instrument panel, seat, brake caliper, and lane departure system. A missing rearview image can increase crash risk, while instrument panel concerns may affect passenger air bag deployment or create loose pieces during deployment. A seatback that folds unexpectedly can increase injury risk in a collision, and reduced rear braking performance can make a crash more likely. A lane departure system that does not detect the driver’s hands may fail to provide warnings. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so arrange a VIN check promptly.
