Summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling 246 of its 2019-2022 BMW X7 xDrive40i, X7 Drive50i, and X7 M50i vehicles equipped with third-row seats. Some of these vehicles may have been manufactured with compression springs that lock the seat backrest into place incorrectly, which could cause them to dislodge or detach. Owners are advised to take their vehicle to an authorized dealer for a free inspection and repair to ensure the seat is safe for passengers.

Risk

If the compression springs are missing or improperly installed, the third-row seat backrest may not fully lock into position. In the event of a crash, an unlocked backrest increases the risk of injury to occupants sitting in the third row.
