What Happened
The lower anchor bars in your X6 are the metal pieces that help keep child seats secure in the backseat. Over time, these bars can get damaged if you're using a certain type of child seat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lower anchor bars are damaged, a child's seat may not be properly secured, which could lead to a higher risk of injury if there's a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body to prevent damage, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
