Details

What's wrong: The front seatback frames may have been improperly welded, allowing the seatback to unexpectedly fold forward or rearward.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, there is an increased risk of injury if the seatback folds forward or rearward.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seats, free of charge. The recall began September 27, 2019.
