Transport Canada recall 2022501 · manufacturer campaign 52 80 22RC
7 September 2022
Transport Canada lists: X 7 2019–2020, 2022
What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the springs that lock the backrest for the third-row seat may not have been installed correctly. As a result, the seat backrest may not fully lock in place.
Why it matters
A seat backrest that isn't locked could move in a crash and increase the risk of injury.
What the dealer will do
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the third-row seat and reinstall the compression springs, as necessary. To reduce the safety risk, BMW recommends that you should not transport any passengers in the third-row seat until the recall repairs have been completed.
