SEATS

Manufacturer

What Happened
The compression springs in your X7's third-row seats help keep the backrest in place. In some cases, these springs weren't installed correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the springs fail, the backrest might not lock properly, which could lead to injuries.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check the seat springs, replace or reattach any that are loose, and add any missing ones at no cost to you. You'll get a letter with instructions on when to schedule the fix.
