The 2016 BMW X4 has 2 recalls, the more serious being an electrical wiring connector defect that can cause a short circuit and start a fire.
The second recall involves the lower anchor bars used to secure child safety seats. These bars can be damaged in a way that allows a child seat to move or detach in a crash, raising the risk of injury to a child passenger. This recall only affects certain X4 models built within a specific production window, so checking your VIN against the recall is the best way to confirm whether your vehicle is included.
