BMW 528i Recall 15V718: Child Seat Anchor May Not Fully Latch, Raising Crash Injury Risk

What this recall means for you

The inboard lower anchor for child restraints on the left rear seat may have been bent downward. As a result, a child seat may not fully engage both lower anchors and may not be properly secured.

If a child seat is not properly attached to the lower anchors, the child's risk of injury increases in the event of a crash. The affected vehicles may also fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 225 for child restraint anchorage systems.

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if needed, repair the inboard lower anchor on the left rear seat at no charge. Owners can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417, and can check their VIN for open recalls.
