SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The brake rotor and shaft in your vehicle's integrated brake system are critical components that help your car stop safely. In some affected models, these parts weren't welded correctly, which could lead to a failure of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and braking assistance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ABS system fails, your vehicle could lose its ability to stop smoothly and quickly, increasing the risk of a crash, especially in an emergency braking situation.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty brake system with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, and it's essential to do so to ensure your safety on the road.

Low Priority #20V379000 Plain English

CHILD SEAT:TETHER: CONNECTOR/CLIP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The top child seat tether anchor on the middle seat in your BMW is the part that helps keep a child's car seat secure. In some 2020-2021 models, it's not easily accessible, which could be a problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If you put a child's car seat in the middle seat without using the three-point safety belt, they could be at risk of serious injury in the event of a crash, because the tether anchor is hard to use.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will install a cover on the middle seat to make the tether anchor more accessible, and this repair is free. Until then, you should use the outboard rear seats with the easy-to-use tether anchors, or the middle seat with the three-point safety belt.
