(BMW) is recalling certain 2015-2019 X6 sDrive35i, X6 xDrive35i, X6 xDrive50i, and X6M vehicles equipped with rear seat lower anchor bars used in securing child restraint seats.

Safety risk
Damaged lower anchor bars may increase the child's risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body, free of charge. Owner notification began January 17, 2020. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Owner complaints
A complaint is one person's report to a federal agency. It is not a finding.
No complaints in our copy of the federal file for this model year. The daily feed covers recent filings; older history appears only after a full-history rebuild.
Open investigations
An investigation is not a recall. It indicates that NHTSA is currently evaluating an alleged defect but has not reached a final determination.
