Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have an inboard lower anchor for child restraints on the left rear seat that may have been bent downwards, preventing the child seat from fully engaging both lower anchors. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 225, "child restraint anchorage systems."

Why it matters: If the child seat is not properly attached to the lower anchors, it can increase the child's risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the inboard lower anchor on the left rear seat, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2015.
