Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Address Safety Concerns
NHTSA’s three recalls involve safety-related concerns that should not be postponed. Wheel bolts that were not properly tightened may loosen or break, potentially affecting handling and control. Rear upper control-arm pivot bolts may lead to a broken control arm, also affecting handling and increasing crash risk. In the child-seat system, damaged lower anchor bars may increase a child’s risk of injury during a crash. Because these conditions can involve vehicle control or occupant protection, waiting can increase exposure to risk. Have the VIN checked promptly and let an authorized BMW dealer determine whether a remedy remains open for your vehicle.
