Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies eight safety recalls for the 2020 BMW X4. Backup Camera concerns may leave the rearview image missing, reduced, or obscured, increasing crash risk when a driver relies on the display. Steering concerns include a damaged tie rod, broken steering rack pinion teeth, or front axle swivel bearings that may break, potentially causing loss of control. Air Bag sensors may misidentify a belted occupant, affecting air bag and pretensioner deployment. An Instrument Panel casing issue could allow pieces to strike occupants during air bag deployment. Waiting can leave an unresolved safety condition in place, so prompt VIN verification is the safest choice.
