If the seat frame fails in a crash, it could not hold you securely in place, increasing the risk of serious injury, even death.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty seat frame and back rest with new ones, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.

If your vehicle is involved in a rear crash, the headrest could fold down instead of staying in place, which could increase the risk of a head injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will swap out the faulty headrest with a new one that works properly, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible after getting the recall notice.
