What Happened

If the anchor bars are damaged, your child's car seat might not be secure in a crash, increasing the risk of serious injury to your child.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will add a reinforcing bracket to the anchor bars and the vehicle body to prevent damage, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
