BMW of North America is recalling 32,760 model year 2015-2019 X6 sDrive35i, X6 xDrive35i, X6 xDrive50i, and X6M vehicles with rear seat lower anchor bars used in securing child restraint seats.

The lower anchor bars may become damaged over time when used with an ISOFIX-type, rigid-style connector, child restraint system.

Damaged lower anchor bars may increase the child's risk of injury in a crash.

What to do

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body free of charge.

Owner notification is expected to begin January 17, 2020.

Owners may contact BMW customer service at (800) 525-7417.
