What Happened
The compression springs in your X7's third-row seat help keep the backrest securely in place. However, in some 2019-2022 models, these springs might not have been installed correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If a crash happens and the seat springs aren't working right, the backrest could fail to lock, which may lead to injuries.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the third-row seat and fix any issues with the compression springs at no charge to you.
