CHILD SEAT Safety Recalls

Low Priority #20V379000 Plain English
Component

CHILD SEAT:TETHER: CONNECTOR/CLIP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The tether anchor on your rear middle seat is the part that helps secure a child seat. In some 2020-2021 BMW models, this anchor can be hard to reach, which could put a child at risk.
Risk if Unfixed
If a child seat isn't properly secured on the middle seat, it could fail to protect the child in the event of a crash. This increases the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will add a cover to the rear middle seat to make the tether anchor more accessible. This repair is free, and you'll receive a notice with instructions on how to schedule it.

Original — What Happened
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2020-2021 740Li, 740 Li xDrive, 750Li xDrive, M760Li xDrive, and Alpina B7 vehicles. The top child seat tether anchor on the rear middle seat may not be readily accessible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, Section 6.1(b) "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A child restraint system placed on the vehicle's rear middle seat without utilizing the three-point safety belt, could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Original — Remedy
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will install a top tether anchor cover at the rear middle seating position. Until vehicles are remedied, owners will be instructed to utilize the outboard rear seating positions which are equipped with an accessible top tether anchor, or, the middle rear seating position and the vehicle's three-point safety belt. The recall began August 20, 2020. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
