What's wrong, in plain English

Some BMW X7 vehicles with the optional business lounge seat may have a seat that was not bolted down correctly. The bolts that attach the seat to its adapter may not have been tightened enough during assembly. If those bolts are loose, the seat may not stay securely in place, which could raise the chance of injury to occupants in a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included. 2. Contact a BMW dealer, or call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. 3. The bolt replacement is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V135000.
