2019 BMW X6 recalls
Child Seat Anchors May Be Damaged, Raising Crash Injury Risk
BMW is recalling certain X6 SUVs because the rear seat lower anchor bars, which secure child car seats, may become damaged over time when used with an ISOFIX-type, rigid-style connector child restraint.
Rear-view camera image can be turned off, raising crash risk
The rear-view camera display on these vehicles can be adjusted so the backup camera image no longer appears, and the system keeps that setting the next time the car is put in reverse.
Rear Control Arm Bolts May Break, Risking Loss of Control
Certain rear upper control arm pivot bolts may have been improperly hardened, which can cause the rear upper control arms to break.
Loose Wheel Bolts Can Break and Cause Loss of Control
Some wheel bolts on these vehicles may not have been properly tightened at the factory.
