The 2019 BMW X6 M has 3 recalls, the most serious involving rear suspension control arms and wheel bolts that can break or loosen, both of which can cause a sudden loss of vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash.
On the suspension side, the rear upper control arm pivot bolts can fail, causing the control arm itself to break. When that happens, the rear axle loses its proper geometry and the vehicle becomes difficult to steer or control, particularly during turns or sudden maneuvers. The wheel bolt concern is related in consequence: bolts that were not properly tightened can continue to loosen over time and eventually break, which can allow a wheel to shift or detach while driving. The third recall involves the lower anchor bars used to secure child safety seats in the rear. When used repeatedly with rigid ISOFIX-style connectors, the anchor bars can become damaged and may not hold a child seat securely in a crash, raising the risk of injury to a child passenger.
