ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:PUMP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The water pump in your vehicle is a critical part that circulates coolant to keep your engine from overheating. In some affected models, an electrical connector on the water pump might be exposed to water, which could cause a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the water pump connector shorts out, it could spark a fire, posing a serious risk to your safety and the safety of others nearby.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the water pump and its connector, replace them if necessary, and add a protective shield to prevent future issues – all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.

CHILD SEAT:LATCH STRAP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The lower anchor bars in your child seat are like the hooks that hold your child's car seat in place. In some X3 and X4 models, these hooks can get damaged if you use certain types of car seats.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hooks are damaged, your child's car seat might not stay secure in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to your child.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will add a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body to make them stronger — at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
