What Happened
The seat frame in your vehicle is the metal structure that supports your seat. In certain 2019-2021 BMW models, it might not have been properly attached to the seat rails.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash, a weak seat frame could fail to hold you in place, increasing the risk that you could be injured.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the seat frame and back rest with stronger, safer parts – for free. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get your recall notice.
