The 2020 BMW X6 M has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a front suspension weld that can separate and a steering column bearing plate that can loosen, both of which can reduce handling control and raise the risk of a crash.
The front suspension concern involves a weld connecting the front axle support to the right front control arm bracket. If that weld gives way, the geometry of the front suspension shifts and the driver can lose predictable steering response. The steering recall is a separate issue where a bearing plate inside the steering column was not properly secured during assembly; as it works loose, the driver may notice vague or inconsistent steering feel. On the exterior, the rear roof spoiler may not be adequately bonded to its mounting plate. At speed, it can detach entirely and land in the road, creating a hazard for following traffic or anyone nearby.
