The 2016 BMW M5 has two recalls, the more serious being a bent child seat anchor on the left rear seat that can prevent a child safety seat from locking in properly, raising the risk of injury in a crash.
The second recall involves the seat-mounted side airbag inflator, where the initiator can fail to ignite during a collision, meaning the airbag does not deploy and leaves the occupant without that protection in a crash.
