- Component: Seats And Restraints
- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

Issue:

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.

Safety Risk:

A seat backrest that isn't locked could move in a crash and increase the risk of injury.

Corrective Actions:

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.
