What Happened
The rear cargo rail attachment is a metal piece that helps keep your cargo secure in the back of your X3. It could be damaged in a rear crash and break loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cargo rail detaches during a crash, it could increase the risk of injury from loose cargo inside the vehicle.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the cargo rail attachment bolts for you, at no cost. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and if your vehicle was previously repaired under recall 24V-534, you'll need to have it done again to ensure your safety.
