What happened

BMW of North America is recalling certain 2016 BMW sedans (including 528i, 535i, 550i, M5, and 535d models) because the inboard lower anchor for child restraints on the left rear seat may be bent downward. This prevents child seats from fully engaging both lower anchors, which increases the risk of child injury in a crash and may cause the vehicles to fail to meet federal safety standards.

BMW will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and repair the inboard lower anchor on the left rear seat at no cost. The recall began on December 28, 2015. Owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.
